These include providing services to children with learning problems, psychiatric conditions and physical disabilities.

Learning difficulties:
In a school setting a child’s progress may be impaired by a number of factors i.e. physical, sensory or developmental factors. Resilience Occupational Therapy for kids assists in the assessment and management of children with learning problems. Our primary aim is to assist children to reach their full potential. The DTVP2, TVPS, VMI, gross motor clinical observations are standardized test that are also used to establish a child’s abilities and limitations. Further to that we provide counselling and educate both the parent and child about the condition.

If a need is identified, the following may be key areas of focus:
•  Recommendation of task adaptations
•  Environmental modification and use of assistive devices
•  Treatment planning with family and educator

Physical Rehabilitation:

An occupational therapists’ primary responsibility during physical therapy is to optimise the individuals’ independence in performing tasks and increasing their ability to accomplish functionality following an injury/physical disability. Common conditions include:

•  Motor impairments
•  Amputations
•  Disability as a result of motor vehicle accident
•  Stroke etc.

Method:
Assessments involve a detailed analysis of performance skills (motor, sensory, cognitive, psychological and social) and the impact of any impairment on the patient’s ability to engage in occupations within a defined environment. Functional assessments are needed to ascertain the patient’s level of independence and provide valuable information on the patient’s residual skills as well as their task performance.

Purpose: 

We aim to optimise an individuals’ independence and their ability to engage in everyday activities following an injury or physical impairment. We provide on-site assessments of both home and work environment and give recommendations for suitable adaptations for each to promote a better quality of life
