Aidaway OT has a combination of therapists, with training and experience with the following:
– Physical conditions, whereby our therapists have experience such as within rehabilitation and aged care settings, community based experience. Within the physical setting, our therapists have extensive knowledge and are often undertaking various forms of professional development to upskill knowledge e.g. powered wheelchair scripting.
– Psychosocial conditions, whereby our therapists have an understanding of the complexity whereby disabilities often cross impact the psychosocial domain alongside physical function. Aidaway OT often aligns psychosocial intervention towards talk therapy, behavioural support, sensory support, cognitive support, task support and assessments if/where required.
