Techniques we use

  • Assess your skills, strengths, limitations, priorities and support (people and environment).
  • Learn about your interests, goals and habits so we can build on or modify them to get you where you want to go.
  • Instruct you in techniques to overcome your limitations. Develop methods to help you reach your goals
  • Provided suggestions for caregivers, so they have time and energy to be the caring people they are.
  • Help you develop a positive outlook to overcome difficult health problems.
  • Help you move from what you can do toward what you want to do. Sometimes people have the potential for great improvements, sometimes they need to work to stay even, sometimes the course of illness is not within our control but we can help you anticipate and smooth out the bumps in the process.
  • Modify your environment for your independence, security and pleasure.
  • Develop the thoughts, words and confidence so you can speak about your condition and desires to your doctor, friends, family.
