Occupational Therapists (OT) are an integral part of your NDIS team. They help you maintain, regain or improve your independence through the use of equipment, tools and strategies. Having an OT assessment is a vital component of NDIS funding. Their assessments and recommendations support participants to access the funding to purchase necessary equipment. This may include mobility equipment such as wheelchairs, scooters, walking frames, specialised beds and chairs. They also assist with small ramps, rails and other minor home modifications and tools that support everyday activities.
