Can an Occupational Therapist help me?

Occupational Therapists are an integral part of your care. We consider the whole person looking at your needs, your environment and any barriers you may have to participating in what is most important to you in life. Our goal is to enable and empower you to participate in everyday activities.

At Supportive Occupational Therapy Services, we are committed to helping you achieve your goals. These goals might be to complete everyday activities we take for granted, such as having a shower or making a meal or bigger goals like accessing your community.

Tailored Support

Based on your needs we will tailor an individual therapy and support plan to best suit you. Dependent on your situation we may work with you to relearn a skill, find a new way to do it or adapt the task using equipment and supports.
