What Is a Housing Adaptation Assessment?
A specialist OT assessment of your home environment, focused on improving accessibility, safety, and independence for your child and family.
As an Occupational Therapist, I understand how the physical environment affects a child's ability to move, play, and take care of themselves independently. A Housing Adaptation Assessment is a thorough evaluation of your home — how your child interacts with it, where the barriers are, and what changes could make the biggest difference.
I assess your child's needs within their home environment and provide personalised, practical recommendations — from grab rails and ramps to full bathroom conversions and sensory-friendly spaces. Every recommendation is tailored to your child's specific abilities, your family's goals, and the layout of your home.
My aim is to help you create a space where your child can be as independent and confident as possible, both now and as they grow.
