The gathering of information is a vital part of the Occupational Therapy process. Assessment allows for our Occupational Therapist to analyse in great detail how a condition or disability is impacting on an individual's ability to participate in everyday occupations. Our assessments also allow for interventions to be tailored to each individual and accurately target their main difficulties. Assessment can be completed wherever the individual requires, including at home, in the workplace and here in one of our clinics.
