Community Occupational Therapy 

Occupational Therapists (OT's) work with people who have disabilities with the aim of helping people to live as independently as possible.

What does an Occupational Therapist do?

They work with you and your family or carers to identify any areas of difficulty with daily living tasks - including washing, dressing, cooking and getting on and off your bed, toilet and chair.

They will then advise you on overcoming the difficulties you are having. This advice may include:

• suggesting you use a piece of equipment to make a task easier
• providing advice on how to do a task more easily
• suggesting ways to adapt your home to help you live more independently and making referrals for housing adaptations where appropriate
• providing advice on support networks in your area
• providing information on your disability and medical condition

How to see an Occupational Therapist

Anyone with a disability can ask to see an OT - you can refer yourself for an assessment by contacting your local OT office. They may need to communicate with your Doctor about your medical needs.
