New mobility scooter 🤩

Assistive technology prescription and implementation is an ongoing, collaborative process between therapists, AT suppliers, clients and caregivers. It’s not always perfect first go.

Our client received his new scooter last week. But when used in his local area, he found that it needed a bit of adjustment.

Working together with a trusted supplier we found a solution where everyone was happy 🤜🤛

🙌 It’s Hump Day 🙌

Wednesdays are a great day for us 🫶

As a mobile and often remotely-working community OT team, we value the opportunity to get together in the office every Wednesday morning to discuss our new referrals and existing waiting list.

This allows us to:
‼️prioritise existing and upcoming workload according to urgency
🧩 ensure clients are allocated to the most appropriate OT for their identified needs and
🤝 promotes team and referral partner collaboration

Why do we use standardised assessments 🤔

Standardised assessments are one of many strategies that our OT’s use for assessment reporting and intervention planning.

They are evidence-based tools which require consistent administration and scoring procedures, designed to measure a client's functional abilities.

These tools provide objective, quantifiable data to compare performance against other relevant samples.

They can help to establish a baseline, set goals, track therapy progress and outcomes over time.

All of our experienced OT’s are trained to use a variety of carefully selected, standardised assessment tools which support our other assessment findings.

We ensure the tools used are appropriate for the client’s diagnosis, age, circumstances and are only administered when it adds value to the evidence and supports best clinical practice.

✨ Meet Sharon! ✨

We’re so excited to introduce the newest member of our OT team – Sharon Dare!

Sharon is an AHPRA-registered Occupational Therapist who graduated from the University of South Australia in 2002, with extensive experience working across South Australia, New South Wales, and the UK in a variety of clinical settings.

After taking some time away from clinical practice to focus on her family, Sharon has returned to OT and is looking forward to getting back into the areas she’s most passionate about – and we’re so glad she found us! 💙

She’s especially passionate about home modifications and equipment prescription for older adults and people with physical disabilities, with a strong focus on helping people maintain independence, safety, and dignity in their own homes.

Outside of work, you’ll find Sharon cheering on her two teenage kids at their sporting events, volunteering in the community, or enjoying travel, staying active, and time with family and friends.

Please join us in giving Sharon a warm welcome! 👏

Snapped this beautiful sunrise which started the day 🌞

One of our OT’s was on-site with a client at 7am for a morning personal care assessment, so they can develop a safe and enablement-focused manual handling plan.

Our team of experienced community OT’s see the value in flexibility when visiting our clients in their homes and other meaningful environments!

Understanding actual task performance, routines and individual support needs ultimately drives best client outcomes 🤝
