Occupational Therapy
NDIS Occupational Therapy Adelaide
Our highly experienced occupational therapy team in Adelaide will come to you and provide tailored therapy support to help you to achieve outcomes that are important to you. Our team supports children and adults to build their skills and confidence to take on the world around them.
We help you stretch your NDIS therapy budget further by using evidence-based therapies that are proven to work so you can achieve your goals as quickly as possible.
If you need more than one therapy, our occupational therapists will work with all your Everyday Independence therapists to plan and provide your therapy support at the right time so you can achieve your goals faster.
We firmly believe that great things can happen when people have access to the right supports.
How can occupational therapy support me?
You can access occupational therapy services to support you with:
- Building independence
- Assistive technology
- Sensory profiling
- Social skills and friendships
- Learning support
- Developing hobbies and interests
- Home modifications
- Safe and accessible environments
- Wheelchairs and seating
- Employment
- Behaviour support
Depending on your goals and your unique situation your occupational therapist will work with you on a range of therapy initiatives that will support you to do things more easily and safely. These could include:
- Prescribing devices to help you do the activities you want and need. We will make sure you can use the device in the best way to meet your needs.
- Recommending changes to your environment, such as your home or workplace so you can do more things independently or make it easier for people to assist you.
- Develop a profile of your abilities and areas where you need assistance to put together a “support plan” for the people who assist you. This will include how you need to be assisted when and where; and making sure that you have the opportunity to give things a go, have your say and be involved.
- Devising a program to improve a specific ability or skill including being more independent, like using public transport or managing your own behaviour so you can better interact with others.
- Building the skills of your support network so they can support you to achieve your goals.

We provide children aged under seven years with therapy support through our early intervention services. We use a Key Worker model which is considered by the NDIS to be the best practice for providing early childhood intervention.
If needed, your Early Childhood Key Worker will arrange support from an occupational therapist to help your child to achieve their goals.
