How we can help
Start with assessment
Your assessment helps identify which support is relevant and how it fits your goals. Neurological rehabilitation brings together different areas of function and everyday life.
An assessment can provide advice and recommendations in its own right, or form the starting point for ongoing rehabilitation.
We explore your history and current difficulties, and discuss how these affect everyday activities. Assessment may include observing tasks and using structured assessment tools selected for your age, needs and circumstances.
Following the assessment, you will receive a written Occupational Therapy Immediate Needs Assessment report. This sets out the assessment findings, their impact on everyday activities and identified needs, with clear recommendations for rehabilitation and support. We discuss the report with you and agree the next steps, including goals and a rehabilitation plan where appropriate.
