Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapists at Neural Pathways offer approaches that specifically seek to assess and extend functional and social capabilities They operate in domains that deliberately overlap with each of the other therapy approaches and with everyday care tasks.
Their role centres around creating functional progress that is meaningful in the context of the individual’s life. This includes social and vocational activities as well as establishing independent dressing and other self-care tasks, addressing functional household tasks such as making meals and drinks, laundry and cleaning.
In all areas the emphasis is on using existing skills, developing and improving abilities and using compensations and strategies where appropriate.
The expertise of occupational therapy is particularly seen in the integration of specific level of skill and necessary challenge with appropriately paced progression toward achieving short and long term goals.
All of our therapists are registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC) and Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checked, in addition they undertake many hours of continuing professional development each year, much of which is supported by Neural Pathways.
