Occupational therapy
Occupational Therapy supports people to safely and meaningfully participate in everyday life. At Ace Therapy, our occupational therapists work with children, adolescents and adults across home, community, education and work environments.
Our occupational therapists deliver services across standard therapy supports, specialist and complex needs therapy, assistive technology and home modifications, and multidisciplinary and transition supports, depending on each person’s needs and circumstances.
Services are delivered by clinicians with experience, supervision and governance arrangements appropriate to the complexity and risk involved.
What occupational therapy supports
Occupational therapy may assist with:
- Daily living skills such as dressing, personal care and routines
- Participation at home, school, work and in the community
- Sensory regulation and functional engagement
- Building or maintaining independence across daily activities
Supports are tailored to the individual’s goals, environment and level of complexity..
Building Independence
A key focus of occupational therapy is supporting people to do more for themselves in safe and sustainable ways. This may include:
- Developing practical strategies for everyday tasks
- Adapting routines to improve efficiency and participation
- Supporting families and carers with education and guidance
Specialist & complex occupational therapy
Specialist & complex occupational therapy
Some occupational therapy services involve higher levels of clinical decision‑making, particularly where safety, environmental risk or functional stability are key considerations. In these situations, supports may require enhanced clinical oversight or specialist assessment.
Assistive Technology
Home and environmental Modifications
Specialist & complex occupational therapy
Our occupational therapists provide specialist assessment and recommendations for assistive technology to support safety, participation and independence.
This includes:
- Functional assessment and equipment selection
- Recommendation of appropriate devices
- Training and education to support effective and safe use
Decisions are guided by individual needs and long‑term suitability, rather than short‑term use alone.
Home and environmental Modifications

Home and environmental Modifications
For adults who require changes to their living environment, our occupational therapists provide functional assessment and recommendation for home and environmental modifications.
This may include:
- Access and safety modifications
- Bathroom and internal environment adaptations
- Complex structural recommendations where appropriate
The focus is on supporting long‑term safety, accessibility and independence, and reducing reliance on ongoing supports where possible.
Functional & SDA‑Related Assessments

Our occupational therapists complete functional and housing‑related assessments for people with complex or high support needs, including SDA‑related assessments where appropriate.
These assessments support informed decision‑making around housing suitability, support requirements and long‑term functional outcomes.
