Occupational Therapy - adapted transport - consultationNew patient
“The goal of this service is to determine a person’s fitness to drive a motor vehicle, help them to develop their driving capacity and to assess the need for vehicle adaptation for driving and / or accessing the vehicle.”Occupational Therapy - consultationNew patient
“The occupational therapist will meet with you to evaluate the physical and/or mental issues preventing you from being able to complete important activities such as work. The therapist will suggest an intervention plan in line with your pre-established goals. The intervention plan can be adjusted over time based on reported or observed behaviour or on changes in goals.
Whether it is through functional exercises, simulation of work tasks, preventive principles (postural exercises, body biomechanics, joint protection, energy conservation and pain management) or management of your schedule, the occupational therapist will help you regain as much autonomy as possible in order to help you resume your activities.”Occupationnal therapy - Parking permit - consultationNew patient
