What is Occupational Therapy and Assistive Technology?

The overarching goal of Occupational Therapy is simple: Help patients live life to the fullest.Our aim is to work with you to enable you to participate in the day-to-day activities you want to do or need to do. Mental health issues can have a significant impact on a person’s ability to carry out everyday activities. Everyone is unique in what difficulties they experience, but some common areas of difficulty including managing emotions.

Assistive technology is an umbrella term for any equipment or aid that improves capacity building in functioning and independence, and supports a person with disability to reach their goals in the home, the community and the workplace. With the support of this technology, no matter what’s important to you, you can achieve, develop and learn just like everyone else.
