What is the Occupational Therapy Service?

The OT Service is a unit within Social Services which serves to assess the needs of people with a physical disability for special equipment and/or adaptations to their home. The aim of this is to increase their control over the practical aspects of their everyday life. Occupational therapists and rehabilitation co-ordinators from the service work with disabled people within their own homes to look at providing equipment and adaptations which can help to increase this control.
