See PricesFrequently asked questions
Can occupational therapy help if my condition is progressive rather than improving?
Yes, though the aim is different. With a progressive condition the work is about keeping activities possible as circumstances change, anticipating the next difficulty rather than waiting for it, and making changes at a point when there is time to think about them properly. Occupational therapy cannot slow or alter the underlying condition, and any therapist who suggests otherwise is overstating what the profession does.
How is this different from the rehabilitation I had in hospital or with a community team?
NHS neurological rehabilitation is usually organised around agreed goals and comes to a planned end when those goals are met or progress levels off, which can be well before you personally feel finished. Private input is often used after that point, or for a specific piece of work such as a home layout or an equipment question. If you are still under an NHS team, say so at the outset, so that the two pieces of work complement each other rather than pull in different directions.
Should I be practising between visits, and does more practice mean faster progress?
Repetition matters in neurological rehabilitation, but more is not automatically better where fatigue is involved. Practice carried out to the point of exhaustion is usually poor-quality practice, and it can cost the following day as well. A useful plan says how much and how often, not just what, and it should be adjusted rather than abandoned when it turns out to be too much.
What should I do if new symptoms appear between visits?
Contact your GP, consultant or specialist nurse. Occupational therapy is a practical service and is not a substitute for medical assessment, so new or worsening symptoms belong with your medical team. Sudden facial drooping, arm weakness or slurred speech is a medical emergency: call 999 immediately.
Who carries out the Neurological OT visit?
A qualified, HCPC-registered occupational therapist covering Streatham carries out the assessment and any follow-up visits in person, at your home.
How is Neurological OT priced?
Your occupational therapist confirms their fee for Neurological OT before you book - see our prices page for current guide pricing.
Will I get anything in writing?
Where relevant, you'll receive a written summary or report of the visit, agreed with you at the outset - particularly for equipment recommendations, adaptations or reports for a third party.
What happens after the first visit?
Your occupational therapist will agree next steps with you directly - this might be a follow-up visit, a set of recommendations to action yourself, or referral on if something falls outside their scope.
