The occupational therapist role
Occupational therapy in social care is about what a person needs to be able to do, and what would have to change for them to keep doing it. Equipment, adaptations, routines, technique and confidence are all on the table.
A typical caseload mixes home visits, moving and handling assessments, major adaptation recommendations and joint work with social workers, housing teams and families.
