Occupational therapy in mental health will provide concrete and easy-to-integrate tools that will help you better understand your body, improve your daily functioning, and help you regain a better life balance for your health.

Occupational therapy care begins with an assessment that will allow us to get to know the client and identify their challenges in order to build a personalized intervention plan.

Workplace ergonomics is an important aspect that ensures safety, injury prevention, and/or the adaptation of work tasks to existing issues.

Our occupational therapists can visit your workplace to evaluate your tasks and work station. This will allow them to make on-site ergonomic adjustments and recommend equipment tailored to your needs.

Following a health issue and/or from a certain age, the SAAQ may require an assessment to ensure you remain safe on the road. This evaluation process can be quite worrisome and stressful; our occupational therapists will accompany you step by step to ensure everything goes as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

The assessment is conducted in two separate sessions.

1) The first consultation is a 2-hour assessment that takes place in the comfort of your home. The occupational therapist will evaluate the physical and cognitive abilities required for driving.

2) The second session is a road evaluation lasting 45 to 60 minutes, accompanied by a driving instructor and the occupational therapist. The objective of this test is to assess your technical skills, your ability to operate the vehicle, your driving strategies, your behavior on the road, and your compliance with the Highway Safety Code.

Loss of autonomy is a concern for individual safety, especially when it comes to living alone at home. Whether it is for you or a loved one, our occupational therapists can propose options and adaptations to ensure long-term maintenance of this safety.

During the meeting with the occupational therapist, a comprehensive assessment including a site visit, evaluation of the individual's needs, expectations, and preferences, will allow for a complete picture of their level of autonomy and recommend solutions to enhance safety.
