March 10th World Glaucoma Week

World Glaucoma Week is a unique initiative that puts a spotlight on glaucoma as the leading cause of preventable irreversible blindness worldwide. The prompt diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma can prevent needless vision impairment, however, so many are unaware they have the disease or may not have access to much-needed care.

Occuoational Therapy and the NDIS

Occupational therapy is a person-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and wellbeing through participation in occupation. Occupational therapists are allied health professionals who enable people to engage in the occupations that bring meaning and purpose to their lives. They achieve this by working with participants to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want, need, or are expected to do; or by modifying the occupation or the environment to better support their occupational engagement.

Occupational therapists provide services across the lifespan and have a valuable role in supporting participants affected by developmental disorders; physical, intellectual, chronic and/or progressive disability; and mental health issues.

Given their expertise and area of practice, many occupational therapists deliver NDIS- funded services to participants. Services focus on promoting independence in activities of daily living and enablement of social and economic participation. These services may include functional capacity assessment and intervention; disability-related chronic disease management; prescription and implementation of assistive technology and/or environmental modifications; mental health interventions; positive behaviour support; driving assessments (when specifically trained to do so); and targeted, goal-focussed rehabilitation.

Tinnitus Awareness Week

"...Tinnitus is when you experience ringing or other noises in one or both of your ears.
