Occupational therapy supports people to do the everyday things they need and want to do. A ‘occupation’ is anything that you occupy your time with. This may be your role as a parent or employee, completing your self care, doing the grocery shopping, going for a coffee or everything in between!

Practically, we may assess and provide recommendation on looking after yourself, moving safely around your home, managing daily routines, accessing the community, using equipment, building skills, returning to meaningful roles, or adapting your environment after illness, injury, disability or life changes.

At Living Stories Therapy Services, occupational therapy is practical and individual. We work with you, your support network and your everyday environment to find strategies, tools and adjustments that support independence, safety, and participation.
