What can we do to help you?
If you live in Kent, DiverseOT therapists can carry out assessments in relation to your occupational functioning and screen for sensory issues. We can provide Occupational Therapy reports with recommendations for you, your family, carers, employers or educators.
We offer short-term interventions, for example, advising on approaching a task differently, using equipment or assistive technology, adapting the living or working environment and finding strategies to reach chosen goals.
What can we do to help you?
If you live in Kent, DiverseOT can assess occupational functioning and screen for sensory issues. We can write OT reports with recommendations for you, the service user, your carers, employers or educators.
Interventions focus on areas of your life where you would like to be more independent. This can include daily living skills (cooking and cleaning), executive functioning (strategies to help improve structure and routine) and supporting you to reach your chosen goals. This can include support with emotional regulation and wellbeing by using zones of regulation and interoception assessment.
We can support you to better understand your diagnosis and how this impacts you and the difficulties you are experiencing in your life.
We can also offer specialist consultation and training to other professionals within health, social care, education, and other organisations.
Typically, we can help with difficulties in the following areas:
• Understanding a diagnosis of Autism and/or ADHD.
• Activities of daily living including self-care
• Executive functioning e.g. organisational skills, attention/focus
• Employment (gaining employment, reasonable adjustments and retaining employment)
• Education (working with student support, making recommendations to education providers)
• Leisure activities
• Sensory differences
• Social activities
• Interoception
• Emotional regulation
• Accessing health appointments by providing hospital passports
• Form filling, i.e. Personal Independence Payments (Initial consultation must be completed)
• Signposting to local groups or other services if we are not the right service for you at this moment in time or require ongoing support.
We can work with individuals who have a diagnosis, are waiting for a diagnostic assessment or consider themselves neurodivergent without a diagnosis.
*We can only look at your sensory preferences; if you want an in-depth sensory integration assessment and plan, you must find a Sensory Integration Therapist via the Royal College of Occupational Therapists.
