If you experience difficulties performing certain tasks, it’s possible that equipment or assistive technology could help you overcome your challenges. Your Occupational Therapist completes an assessment to determine the nature of equipment and/or assistive technology you may need in alignment with your goals.
Our Occupational Therapists work with you to identify, set up and train you on how to use the equipment or assistive technology that meet your specific needs and goals.
Our OT’s aim is to empower you to live a quality life through:
Wheelchair Prescription
Manual Handling Equipment
