Paediatric Services:
At Daily Function Occupational Therapy Services, we understand the importance of early intervention if childhood tasks for your child are difficult. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to use their strengths to develop the skills that are difficult for them.
If your child appears to be struggling to do everyday tasks we can help. Examples include:
- behaviours that interfere with relationships
- difficulties organizing
- completing assigned tasks (verbal or written)
- avoidance of activities or people because of worried feelings
- difficulties with fine motor tasks such as tying shoes, printing, scissor skills, etc.
- gross motor task completion such as moving within their space, climbing stairs, may appear "clumsy"
- limitations in food varieties, clothing they will wear, places they will go
Adult Services:
We believe that prevention is the best way to optimize quality of life, and if that is not possible then early, personalized intervention following illness or injury. If you or a loved one are experiencing changes in function, we are here to help. Examples include:
- worries of safety while completing daily tasks around the home
- fear of or risk of falling
- previous fall
- difficulties completing daily tasks, including: caring for self, home, or participating in leisure activities
- the need for family assistance
- social isolation or limited social interactions
- equipment and/or home modifications to maintain safety and independence at home
- difficulties with organization
- memory loss
- activity limitations due to anxiety
What to expect:
We will meet with you to complete a thorough assessment using a variety of assessments to identify the barriers to function. Following the analysis of the assessments, we will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan using the assessment results and your personal goals. We will support you with implementation of the treatment plan and continue to work with you until you have met your goals. In some situations a re-assessment may be administered.
