What to expect
Support may involve practising tasks, adapting routines or recommending equipment for home, school or work.
A good place to start
Describe the activities that are difficult rather than only naming a diagnosis. Ask whether the therapist works in the relevant setting and can assess the actual environment.
What to compare
- Meaningful daily goals
- Relevant setting
- Assessment and adaptations
Prepare your questions
Write down why you are seeking care and what you want to understand. Check the practitioner’s professional registration and whether a referral is needed. These guides explain services; they cannot assess symptoms or choose treatment. Do not delay urgent care to compare listings.
