Occupational Therapy

  • Functional assessments to assess an individual in terms of their specific physical or mental health difficulties, to achieve independence in the activities which are important to them.
  • Sensory modulation and intervention as when we make sense of our sensory information that we receive from the environment and our own body allows us to learn and behave in appropriate ways, as well as allowing individuals to self-regulate in ways that are self-directed and empowering.
  • Cognitive function assessments to assess functional cognition which specifically looks at how people apply cognitive strategies to any needed or desired everyday task or routine. It also identifies predictable patterns of motor and verbal skills, social behaviour, self-awareness and recognising the link between brain function and task behaviour

Adaptive Mentalization Based Integration treatment (AMBIT) by the Anna Freud Institute.

AMBIT is an approach for helping people who have multiple needs and who may have reasons to find it difficult to trust in helping services. It is based around the core theory and practices of Mentalization. Mentalizing is the capacity for making sense of behaviour by considering the mind that is driving the behaviour.

Psychosocial rehabilitation:

  • Life skills in managing everyday tasks and the prevention of relapse such as goal setting, routine planning, graded routines, purposeful use of time, budgeting, community access and personal self-care.
  • Behavioural activation helps us understand how behaviours influence emotions.
  • Leisure and recreation skills to provide opportunities to engage in a range of activities to develop interests.
  • Social skills to provide increased confidence to relate to others effectively in a range of settings.
