Occupational therapy can help with a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to: developmental delays, sensory processing challenges, ADHD, learning challenges, stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders, mental health conditions, and chronic pain.

During your first occupational therapy session, your therapist will go over a thorough background history, explore current strengths, challenges and ongoing needs to ensure that services provided are aligned with the needs of the individual and their support services. 

Your initial appointment may be via Telehealth (phone call or video call), or in person. Your second half of the assessment will be conducted in person to complete standardised and non-standardised assessments. Your therapist will then work with you to identify your goals and develop a personalised treatment plan based on your needs and preferences.

The length of occupational therapy treatment depends on the individual and their specific needs. Some individuals may require short-term therapy, while others may require ongoing therapy to manage their condition and maintain their level of function. Your therapist will work with you to determine the appropriate length of treatment for your needs.
