Occupational Therapy: Adapting Your Home for Safety
How OTs identify hazards and recommend modifications to help you live independently.
Your Home, Your Way
An Occupational Therapist (OT) looks at how you interact with your environment. Their goal is to make daily tasks easier and safer through home modifications.
Common Recommendations
- Grab Rails: Installed in bathrooms and hallways to prevent falls.
- Ramps: Replacing stairs for easier wheelchair or walker access.
- Kitchen Adjustments: Lowered benchtops or pull-out shelves for easier cooking.
A comprehensive OT home assessment is often the first step in applying for NDIS Capital funding.
