Mobile Occupational Therapy
Our Mobile Occupational therapy service provides expert and high-quality Occupational Therapy at homes, schools, childcare centres and aged care facility or retirement village. Professional home visiting Occupational Therapists at Allied Health 2U have all the equipment and resources to complete a comprehensive assessment and deliver appropriate treatment.
Occupational therapy enables people to participate in activities they find meaningful. These activities include taking care of oneself (and others), working, volunteering, and participating in hobbies, interests and social events.
Occupational therapy is an individual-centred health profession that involves ongoing assessments to understand what activities you can do (and those you want to do), any current limitations, your goals/motivations and also to offer advice/techniques about how to do something more easily and safely.
Occupational therapists prescribe devices to help you do the activities you want and need to do. They will make sure you can use the device in the best way to meet your needs. This means that you will get a total solution and not just a product.
When working with children, time is of the essence when providing therapy.
Our home visiting occupational therapists for children implement a coordinated and systematic approach to address children’s goals and work closely with families to ensure therapy can continue on a day to day basis.

Benefits of home or school visiting occupational therapist?
Occupational therapists work with children, adults and individuals with and without disability to improve the way they function and live in day to day life.
When a mobile occupational therapist observes the way an individual functions, lives and behaves in their own environment such as in a school or in their place of accomodation, it provides greater opportunity to implement strategies enabling greater participation in daily life.
