Occupational Therapist
An Occupational Therapist (OT) is someone who can look at the support you need to carry on performing everyday activities independently and can advise you about, provide, loan, or help you get access to, special equipment or adaptations and other strategies. You can contact them directly for an assessment of the equipment or support you need, or you can be referred by your GP or through the community care assessment. There may be, however, a delay in the assessment and the provision of equipment.
