Occupational Therapy Services at EPSA
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) is a healthcare service designed to help individuals of all ages develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and working. At EPSA, our occupational therapy services focus on enhancing independence, mobility, and overall quality of life.
Our team of expert occupational therapists provides tailored interventions to assist with everyday tasks, whether at home, in the workplace, or within the community. We specialise in helping individuals with disabilities, injuries, and developmental challenges live more comfortably and confidently.
EPSA Health and Rehabilitation Centre offers comprehensive occupational therapy (OT) services designed to enhance clients’ independence and quality of life.
Our Occupational Therapy Services:
Function Capacity Assessment (FCA)
A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) evaluates an individual’s ability to perform daily activities independently. This assessment helps determine eligibility for disability support services, workplace accommodations, and rehabilitation programs. At EPSA, our occupational therapists conduct thorough FCAs, typically requiring 10 to 15 hours to complete the detailed report
Home Modifications for Accessibility
EPSA provides home assessments and modification recommendations to improve safety and accessibility. Whether it’s installing grab rails, ramps, or making doorways wider for wheelchair access, our team ensures your home environment supports your independence. This service includes an initial 60 to 90-minute assessment followed by a customised prescription and report.
Equipment Recommendations for Daily Living
Our occupational therapists assist in identifying and recommending assistive equipment such as wheelchairs, mobility aids, and adaptive tools. We tailor our suggestions to each client’s specific needs, ensuring comfort and ease of use in daily activities.
Time required varies on complexity
