Adult Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapists can assist individuals of all ages and backgrounds, in the clinic, home or workplace. They are specialised in identifying relationships between people's health, well being and daily living.

OT’s work with people on a single, or set of goals, usually aimed at improving their capacity for being productive, looking after themselves and enjoying leisure time. These goals can be broken down into some key areas, with a goal of making addressing them a bit easier:

• Activities of Daily Living
• Instrumental Activities of Daily Living
• Social Participation
• Vocation and Education
• Leisure and Play
• Sleep and Rest

How We Can Assist

• Face to face therapy in the clinic to work on an activity of daily living
• Therapy in the clinic working on cognitive skills, like finances, getting around or interacting with people
• Therapy in the home, workplace or outside setting
• Consultation, assessment and a plan on modifying an environment using technology or assistive technology
• The provision of therapeutic advice and planning to a client and/or their family.

Evolve Therapy OT’s work together as a health care team, to best assist our clients. Whether its one member of our team working on NDIS home modifications and funding administration, and another on face to face therapy, we find working together when needed with our clients, provides the best outcomes.

Supporting Adults with Psychosocial Needs

Our OTs can support adults with psychosocial disabilities, providing intervention, assessment and reporting that supports adults in daily living. Recognising the nature of psychosocial disabilities, our team supports clients with their daily activities, community engagement, social participation and independent living skills.

Our assessment-focused approach supports adults aged 18-65 facing a range of mental health challenges. Through comprehensive and evidence based assessments, we:

• Evaluate practical skills and barriers impacting everyday functioning
• Identify environmental adaptations that can reduce stress and enhance participation
• Provide detailed psychosocial functional capacity assessments to guide personalised intervention planning
• Collaborate closely with support coordinators, mental health providers, and families for integrated and holistic care

Our approach incorporates ongoing occupational therapy support in the community and clinic and psychosocial functional capacity assessments, addressing the complexities faced by individuals living with psychosocial disabilities. These assessments provide valuable insights to guide intervention planning and are detailed further on our Functional Capacity Assessment page.

NDIS Occupational Therapists for Adults

At Evolve Therapy, our practice is built around a strong commitment to client centred care. We believe every client is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet each individual's specific values, preferences and goals. Our therapy plans are developed collaboratively, empowering clients to actively participate and guide their own journey.
