Diverse Occupational Therapy is a mobile business.
Why:
Occupational Therapists help to improve your performance by looking at the interaction between the person (you), the environment (live, work, etc.) and the occupation (activity). It is valuable for us to assess all these factors as it helps us to understand barriers and support you to enable positive change in your world. This is an important part of why we are mobile.
