Occupational therapy initial assessment
A comprehensive first assessment to understand your medical history, daily activities, physical and cognitive abilities, upper limb function, home environment, risks, support needs, and personal goals. This provides the foundation for a tailored rehabilitation plan focused on maximising independence, safety, and quality of life.
Assessment report and recommendations

Community-based occupational therapy rehabilitation
Goal-directed occupational therapy delivered within the client’s home and community environments to assess and develop functional performance, independence, participation and progress towards agreed rehabilitation outcomes.
Getting started
Send a brief enquiry without including detailed medical information. LifePath can then arrange a follow-up call if this would be helpful.
Understand everyday difficulties
An occupational therapy assessment explores the activities that matter to you, the difficulties you are experiencing and what may be making everyday tasks harder.
Practical recommendations
Advice may include practical strategies, suitable equipment, minor adaptations and a rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs and goals.
Home and community visits
Assessment and rehabilitation can take place at home or in the community, where this is appropriate to your needs.
