   The mountains of madness have many little plateaus of sanity.   

- Terry Pratchett

 

The late Sir Terry Pratchett was the highly successful author of the Discworld series and was also a famous resident of Broadchalk in Wiltshire. He was known to be a supporter of Alzheimer’s Research Trust, having been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease himself in 2007. He is quoted as saying ‘those who can, must-do for those who can’t… and someone must speak, for those who have no voice.’

When living with life-changing illness or injury, it can sometimes be hard to find your own voice, to clearly articulate the magnitude of the problems. Whilst there may be some who believe that overcoming disability is best left on the shelves of the fantasy genre, we know otherwise.

Whilst we would never speak for you, our occupational therapists understand the importance of listening, asking the right questions, and giving you space so your answers can be heard. By focusing on what matters to you and combining this with their expert knowledge, achieving your goals can become reality.

What makes us unique

Our approach has been designed to make a positive difference at every step on the journey towards independence.

The History of OT

The History of OT

Occupational therapy – the history of the profession Occupational Therapy is a little-known profession; many Occupational Therapists (OT) will spend their whole career introducing themselves to non-medical people as an OT and will, more often than not, receive a blank response.
Neuro OT in Context

Neuro OT in Context

OTs use activities to improve health and wellbeing, they work with all age groups and understand the concept of human occupation and behaviour, they understand activities, human function and the impact of the environment on individual abilities. Let’s put this theory into some context.
Neuro OT in Practice

Neuro OT in Practice

Effective rehabilitation and, specifically, Neuro OT are only beneficial if time has been taken to understand the person before commencing rehabilitation. Understanding an individual’s values, motivators and aspirations are an essential foundation to effective outcomes.
