Deanna Reed
Occupational Therapist, Moving Forward Occupational Therapy
Services Provided
Assessments to identify current functional needs, setting of goals, assessing equipment needs and report writing for ongoing funding.
About Deanna
This means that we are all at home more and less able to socialise, as an Occupational Therapist, there are a number of ways that I can help support you through this time, this could be done by virtual means such as video calls, skype or Zoom:
- If you feel that you need increased support or different services within your plan, I can assist you by completing an assessment and report. This can then be used within a plan review to help you to obtain the needed supports.
- Make suggestions and source assistive devices that you may need around the home, these could be things such as tools to help you get dressed with more ease or specialised cushions for comfort since you will be seated more than usual.
- Asses the home environment via video and see what may be needed to support you while you are at home more than usual.
- Work with you to develop short term goals over the next few weeks or months that you could work towards while complying with the current social distancing restrictions. These goals could be around increasing your independence with tasks at home or engaging in a different leisure activity within the home.
If you feel that this support would be beneficial to you, then I would love to discuss this with you further.

About Sue Baker
In the interest of not potentially spreading or catching the virus, many services are temporarily suspending face-to-face services. We are very mindful of the fragile state of health that many clients may be in, and do not want to cause any unnecessary distress.
We have developed a telehealth service and will be happy to provide services to you in this way, if you wish.
NB: If you already have a physiotherapy provider, please do discuss this option with them in the first instance, as they will be more familiar with you and are the most appropriate people to provide the service to you. This offer is only made as a back-up option for Determined2 clients.
