FAQs

  • What is mobile occupational therapy?
    Mobile occupational therapy means we come to you at home, school, work, or anywhere you're comfortable. This approach allows for more personalised, practical support in your everyday environment. We prefer this approach because it means you don’t have to figure out how to make the therapy ‘work’ at home. Learn more about how mobile occupational therapy works with and for your life here.
