Our SERVICES
Mental health
A mental health OT can help individuals better understand their mental health condition and take an active part in their recovery.
Children
When should a child be referred to an Occupational Therapist? If you, a treating doctor/paediatrician, psychologist, or educator have any concerns about developmental delay, intellectual disabilities, ASD or ADHD.
Pain Management
Are you experiencing pain right now? Well, you’re not alone. Approximately 20% of Australians have experienced pain that has persisted for more than 3 months.
Physical Rehabilitation
OT4Change can help people recover from illness or injury by helping to improve their independence with performing everyday tasks. This is done using a combination of approaches, including practicing former skills, or learning to adapt and compensate for the physical dysfunction being experienced.
Functional Assessments
Organisations often require functional capacity assessments to determine what services are required to support you. OT4Change can help by conducting these assessments and providing a report with recommendations.
Dementia
Dementia describes a collection of disorders that affect the brain. Dementia affects thinking, behaviours and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Brain function is affected so it interferes with a person’s normal social or working life. It is not a normal part of ageing but is more likely to be seen in older people. Occupational therapists can work with people living with dementia and their carers to improve their quality of life.
