Occupational Therapy for Psychosocial Disability
Psychosocial disability refers to the impact that a mental health condition can have on a person's ability to participate in everyday activities, maintain relationships and engage in their community.
People living with psychosocial disability may experience challenges with motivation, concentration, emotional regulation, daily routines, self-care and social participation. These experiences vary considerably between individuals and can change over time.
Our experienced Senior Occupational Therapists take a recovery-oriented, person-centred approach, working collaboratively with participants to understand their strengths, goals and support needs.
Occupational Therapy Support for Autistic People
Our Senior Occupational Therapists support autistic teenagers and adults to develop practical strategies for everyday living, sensory and emotional regulation, executive functioning and community participation.
We take an individualised, neurodiversity-affirming approach, recognising each person's strengths, preferences and goals. Support may include developing daily routines, adapting environments and building skills for greater independence and meaningful participation.
