Occupational Therapists (OTs) help people of all ages participate in meaningful activities and achieve greater independence in daily life. They focus on supporting individuals to develop, recover, or maintain skills necessary for everyday tasks. We offer a comprehensive range of evidence-based interventions, carefully tailored to meet each individual’s needs:
- Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training: We work with individuals to help them relearn and master essential daily skills, such as dressing, grooming, cooking, and bathing, empowering them to live more independently.
- Cognitive Rehabilitation: Our therapists use targeted cognitive exercises and strategies to improve memory, problem-solving, attention, and other cognitive functions, enhancing mental clarity and day-to-day functioning.
- Environmental Modifications: We assess home and work environments, recommending modifications to improve safety, accessibility, and independence, ensuring spaces are supportive of each person’s needs.
- Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA): Our skilled occupational therapists conduct thorough assessments to evaluate functional abilities, identifying strengths and areas of need to guide individualized intervention plans.
- Assistive Technology (AT) Prescription: We recommend and prescribe specialised equipment, including expert wheelchair fitting, to enhance mobility and functional independence, ensuring that each individual has the right tools for their unique situation.
Paediatric Occupational Therapy Services
Our Paediatric Occupational Therapy services are designed to support children's development of key skills essential for daily activities, play, social interaction, and academic success.
Our team of experienced Paediatric Occupational Therapists works closely with both children and their families to create individualised, goal-focused therapy plans. Through play-based therapy in a comfortable, engaging environment, we help children naturally develop the skills they need to thrive in all areas of life.
Areas of focus during a Compass Paediatric OT session:
- Fine Motor Skills: Enhancing skills like grasping, manipulation, and dexterity to support activities such as writing, drawing, and using utensils.
- Hand-Eye Coordination: Helping children develop the coordination needed for activities such as catching a ball, using tools, and completing puzzles.
- Independence in Self-Care: Supporting children in developing essential self-care skills, such as dressing, feeding, grooming, and personal hygiene, which empowers them to confidently navigate daily routines.
- Social and Play Skills: Encouraging age-appropriate social interactions and cooperative play, helping children build relationships and communication skills.
- Concentration and Attention: Through purposeful activities and implementing specific strategies we help children build their ability to focus, which is essential for academic tasks, social interactions, and daily life activities.
- Sensory Integration: For children experiencing sensory processing differences, we take a neuroaffirming approach. Instead of applying a “one-size-fits-all” treatment plan, we work collaboratively with both the child and their family to develop personalised strategies that are tailored to the child’s specific sensory experiences. This approach ensures that interventions are both effective and respectful of each child’s unique way of processing the world.
