Community Based Occupational Therapy in Adelaide
Designed With The Community In Mind
Bridging Potentials helps adults develop skills in a community setting with our community based occupational therapy in Adelaide. Conducted by our specialised OTs for this setting, community based occupational therapy provides support for individuals to live as safely and as independently as possible within their own home or community environment.
Our OTs help these individuals to develop or regain skills they need for their daily lives, such as interacting with other people, with the community they belong to, with their work, and with other activities in a social setting, among other things. Our OTs design programs for these individuals to adapt to their environment through meaningful activities that will enhance their social interaction.
One of the OT services the occupational therapists of Bridging Potentials deliver is supporting independent living. We help people develop or regain skills needed to live independently in their homes with the use of the right equipment and developing programs to adapt to their surroundings.
Social Integration - Part of Our Community Based Occupational Therapy in Adelaide
Bridging Potentials’ programs for its community based occupational therapy in Adelaide include social integration. We believe that inclusivity is one of the major contributors to anyone’s well-being. Man is a social animal, regardless of their disabilities. By helping them overcome or minimise their disabilities, social integration can be easier for them. Engaging in social activities can also help them enjoy themselves and feel good about themselves.
Our OTs can design programs that will help them manage mental health issues that will address barriers to employment and activity engagement. The program will also develop and instil in them habits, routines, and roles that they have to observe to be able to interact with others in whatever social environment they are in. Please note that community based occupational therapy can be delivered in different kinds of settings, such as daycare programs, rehabilitation programs, and the like.
Addressing Functional Challenges
Bridging Potentials addresses functional challenges that confront the individual in a real-life community environment. Our occupational therapists devise programs that allow the individual to live more independently, reducing their dependence on relatives and care providers. This is the beginning of their journey to a better quality of life.
Our OTs advocate inclusion in the community. We equip individuals of all ages to overcome their disabilities, be it in school to assist your child, in a home for the elderly where they can age gracefully, or in a workplace doing their assigned tasks. Once we have addressed the home, work, and social engagement challenges, they will be able to integrate with the community seamlessly.
