Daily-living retraining

Occupational therapy

Relearning everyday self-care - washing, dressing, cooking - so life runs more independently.

What it is

Occupational therapists help people regain the activities of daily living (ADLs) that matter most to them, step by step.

What it involves

Practising real tasks, adapting how they're done.

  • Breaking tasks into achievable steps
  • Energy conservation and pacing
  • Adaptive techniques and gadgets
