What are “occupations”?

Occupations are what we do that we find meaningful and purposeful. They define our everyday roles at home, school, work and in our community.

Occupations provide the basis for how we feel about ourselves and how we engage with the world around us. Participating in occupations develop our abilities and skills to care for ourselves, pursue our interests, relate to other people and express our values.

I will work with you to support ability building, ideas for modifying tasks and/or support to increase functional independence and social participation. I believe a mobile therapy service has the advantage to better support generalisation and maintenance of the skills learned in our usual environment.
