RESOURCES FOR PROFESSIONALS

Starting out in Private Practice?

Searching the internet to find helpful resources for clients with neurological conditions can be a daunting and seemingly impossible task. When I started my private practice I spent a lot of time searching for and developing tools that would be most helpful in my private practice. I wanted to share some of them with the wider occupational therapy community and to create a forum where we can share ideas and resources to improve our materials and ultimately provide clients with a more efficient and thorough service. 

​

Many of these resources are available elsewhere online. I just find it helpful to keep them all here so they are easier for me to access! I have posted a combination of my own occupational therapy report templates, as well as widely used and freely available cognitive assessments, upper limb assessments and goal setting tools.

​

I hope these downloadable occupational therapy resources are helpful to you. They are by no means perfect but they are a good start and I hope to develop them further.

 

Please leave a comment at the end of the page if you find this helpful or have any feedback. I would love to hear from you.

 

Enjoy!
