When trying to understand occupational therapy, people tend to get stuck on the word occupation, relating it purely to a job. Occupational therapist use the word "occupation to mean the things we do everyday, how we occupy our time. Therefore Occupational therapy is therapy for things we do everyday.

Occupations include looking after ourselves (self cares or pADLs) such as eating, dressing, bathing, toileting etc; looking after/organising our environment (self management or iADLs) such as washing, cooking, cleaning, shopping, engaging in meaningful activity.

Occupational therapists work with people to find ways to complete these tasks that may have become difficult after a change.

While our speciality is working in adventure based activities and building skills, we are flexible with what we do.

Adventure is a broad term that can mean different things to different people. What might be an exciting and fun activity for one person may be terrifying for someone else. That is why we have a thorough intake process to identify what types of activities you might be interested in prior to taking on any type of adventure.

One person's idea of adventure may be going to a park or botanical gardens or just being outside. We are willing to help you participate in activities that interest you.

Our suggestion will be to have as many sessions as possible out in some form of natural environment.

Do you have an umbrella or a rain coat? Certain activities will not be able to go ahead if the weather makes the activity too dangerous (such as flooding, hail or severe storms). However, for the most part if the weather is not perfect, just like life we need to get on with it (and maybe splash in some puddles along the way).
