Our Occupational Therapists are here to help you find new ways to adapt daily skills so you can tackle everyday challenges and live your life to the fullest. Whether you’re about to start university, are a working parent navigating vision loss, or retired, our team are here to support you undertake both the essential everyday tasks, as well as enjoying life with confidence.
We have South Australia’s largest team of low vision occupational therapists who continually undergo training and assessments to keep their clinical skills sharp and their knowledge of the latest technologies up to date.
Our OT’s will work with you in your home, at your workplace and in your community. You might need just a couple of sessions or many – we’ll work with you to identify your goals and a plan for meeting them.
We’re here to help you.
Meet Hannah
“I really enjoy working with clients in their home and community. Being able to do simple things like go to the shops to buy ingredients for a favourite recipe are really important. It’s that normality and independence that makes a difference to the quality of life.”
Safely navigate your community
A reduction in your vision doesn’t also have to mean a reduction in your ability to get out and about. Getting the right help to be safe, confident and develop new strategies for getting where you need to be is important.
Our mobility and orientation experts only work with people who are blind and living with low vision, which means we understand the challenges you face and have a wealth of experience to help you move forward.
Our mobility experts are here to support you at every stage of your vision loss journey and can provide expert advice and support to help with everyday tasks like catching a bus to the shops on your own, finding products at your local shopping centre or managing an uneven footpath when walking. If you need, they’ll work with you to master the use of a white cane and help you consider life with a See Differently guide dog, if that’s the right option for you.
