Occupational Therapy Learning Supports
There are many skills involved in attending university or TAFE. This could include social skills, transportation skills, time management, stress management, concentration, and many more.
Our Occupational Therapist can assist in assessing and identifying any barriers that you could face while attending university.
If any barriers are identified, our Occupational Therapists can assist you in overcoming them through skill development, equipment prescriptions, home modifications, or recommendation for other services such as Physiotherapy.

Home Educational Environment
Our Occupational Therapists can complete assessments to identify the barriers you may be experiencing when studying at home or in the community.
Our occupational therapist can strategise a plan to optimise your study skill habits and study environment from the results. These may include equipment prescriptions, home modifications, or recommendations for other services such as Psychology. Each plan is individualised to you depending on your skills, barriers, and goal.
Managing Learning Fatigue
Our Occupational Therapists will factor in your fatigue, how it impacts your studying, and further explore the cause of your fatigue.
By understanding the reason for your fatigue, the Occupational Therapist can determine the best way to achieve your studying goal.
Strategies could include pacing, prioritising, assistive technology, etc.
Technology for Studying
Helpful equipment or technology cannot be determined until the Occupational Therapist understands your goals and completes assessments to identify potential facilitators and barriers to achieving the goal.
Various equipment or technology that could help include a laptop/ tablet (for communication or remote learning purposes only), sensory items, reduction of items, mobility aids, etc.
