What can I expect from my treatment?
The treatment begins with an initial assessment which leads to an agreed set of goals and a treatment plan. Occupational Therapists complete holistic assessments and so consider all aspects of your life during the assessment and how these have been affected. This treatment plan would be continually monitored and reviewed and adjusted if needed.

How long would my treatment last?
There is no set number of treatment sessions and this would vary greatly between individuals. Following your initial assessment and setting up of your treatment plan an indication is given as to the anticipated length of treatment.
