Vocational Rehabilitation
At Smart Rehabilitation we recognise that vocation is often at the core of a client’s goals; through Vocational Rehabilitation our occupational therapists focus on helping individuals to consider appropriate vocational pursuits, taking into consideration their physical, cognitive, sensory and psychosocial needs.
Vocational Rehabilitation can be provided alone or integrated within a more extensive rehabilitation programme. Through use of core occupational therapy skills, focusing on using a holistic approach, we are able to consider the person, environment and occupational demands of their role.
This approach highlights our expert skills in supporting clients to:
-
Overcome obstacles to return to work
-
Consider transferrable skills to another meaningful role or occupation
-
Promote independence and quality of life
-
Support liaison with employers and advocate reasonable adjustments
-
Support consideration of education and integration into educational environments
Our assessment includes:
-
Job demands analysis (physical, cognitive, sensory, psychosocial)
-
Worksite assessments (ergonomics, accessibility)
-
Interviews exploring goals, routines, habits, and past work experience
-
Transferable skills analysis
