Thank you to the Up Together Team!
I strongly believe in the multidisciplinary team:
1) It gives patients access to an entire team of expert
2) Patient is guided to the best-suited therapist depending on his or her needs
3) Improves communication between professionals which helps coordination
4) Easier for patients to reach different professionals
5) Support professionals to broaden their knowledge about different professions in the health care domain.
Today, we would like to introduce you to our occupational therapist, Louise Espitalier-Noël who has joined Up Together since September 2020.
Louise works with children, adolescent and adults presenting a wide variety of difficulties:
• Attentional disorders,
• Behavioural difficulties,
• Grapho-motor difficulties (writing…),
• Visual- spatial perception difficulties,
• Visual- motor integration difficulties,
• Developmental delays,
• Psychomotor difficulties,
• Sensory integration difficulties,
• Mental health (mood, anxiety)
She uses different approaches such as: compensating (adapting the physical or social environment to the patient), improving skills, setting strategies to overcome limitations.
Louise says "This profession caught my attention as it seemed to be a mix of different things I was interested in: the human body (science), our emotions (psychology), and our environment (social and physical: indoor or outdoor".
