Private Children's Occupational Therapy in Adelaide: For Those Who Prefer
Private Care
Because some children and adults prefer private care, Bridging Potentials offers private children’s occupational therapy in Adelaide to those who are in need of assistance to address medical conditions and other concerns so they can reach their full potential. They are usually referrals from a physician who has formally diagnosed and endorsed to an occupational therapist.
While private occupational therapy uses a medical model, it differs from other types of occupational therapy that are either focused on skills needed in an educational setting (school-based occupational therapy) or focused on brain and movement (neurological occupational therapy), etc. Usually, private occupational therapy focuses more on addressing medical conditions and self-care routines.
Generally, occupational therapists who are engaged in private practice, whether they are specialising in different types of occupational therapy, are the ones we call on. Bridging Potentials is proud to say that we have a roster of private OTs who are ready, willing, and able to render services that will help patients regain or achieve independence in all areas of their lives.
More Personalised Private Children's Occupational Therapy in Adelaide
Our private occupational therapy for children in Adelaide is more personalised as our OTs can visit you at home or in the hospital. But before you book an appointment, check with your private medical insurance provider if private occupational therapy is covered by them.
After an initial assessment with an occupational therapist, a private OT will agree with the tailored plan for you. Treatments in the plan may include the following:
- Different ways to perform a task
- Adapting to different surroundings
- Advice and guidance on practical equipment
- Retraining skills
- Increasing independence and building confidence
- Advice on managing anxiety or fatigue
- Managing cognitive problems
Multidisciplinary OTs
Occupational therapy is multidisciplinary. Many patients who need the therapy go for privacy and we do understand that. We have OTs who help people with dementia. We also have OTs who do home visits if you need support at home. If you need an OT following a surgery that has affected your mobility, we have an OT who can help you with a rehabilitation plan to regain your independence. For neurological rehabilitation, paediatrics and neurological development, Bridging Potentials’ roster is filled with experienced and specialised OTs who have handled such cases.
Trust Bridging Potentials to provide you with the right occupational therapist for your needs. Our occupational therapists who are doing private practice will help you regain your independence so you can reintegrate into the community. Our goal has always been consistent, whether you want private occupational therapy or paediatric occupational therapy: to help you achieve the ideal level of functional independence.
