NDIS Registered Occupational Therapists in Adelaide: What Our OTs Do
Our NDIS registered occupational therapists in Adelaide have four main functions in order to perform their tasks:
- Assessments, which include functional capacity assessments, among others. They evaluate how the disability affects the daily life of the individual and determine what services and supports can help them become independent and improve their quality of life.
- Recommendations, on the kind of support the individual needs, such as assistive technology, home modifications, assistance with personal tasks, therapy programs, etc.
- Goal setting, that will develop, improve, or regain skills needed for their daily living.
- Lifestyle support, to help them maintain and manage an active, healthy lifestyle.
The goal is always to develop and/or get back their self-sufficiency so that they can be the best version of themselves given the challenges they have to face.
NDIS FCA Assistance
For your FCA assistance, you can always turn to our NDIS registered occupational therapists. Not only will they brief you about it, but they can even do the interviews, tests, and observations, and prepare the report needed to lodge your NDIS funding assistance. They will thoroughly review your daily activities, your home, work, and community environment, as well as your functional abilities and needs. Your medical history and current status will also be studied.
Gathering all this information from you and your core support (family members, other therapists, etc.) will also give our OTs a deep understanding of your situation. Our OTs will also determine your goals and challenges and will recommend course/s of action tailored to your NDIS needs and goals. These recommendations may be strategies for improving your functional abilities, referrals to other healthcare practitioners or community resources, ongoing support or follow-ups as needed.
The recommendations may include the kind of assistive technology you need, therapy services and number of sessions, specialised equipment, home modifications, access to community programs or services, and other forms of support backed by evidence-based justifications that explain how they align with your assessed needs, goals, and best interests.
