Occupational Therapy

Home modifications and occupational therapy

Enabled Designs offers an unrivalled degree of knowledge in home modifications. We are here to help you reimagine and recreate your space so that it’s easy to live in.

When done well, a home modification can make a tremendous difference to your life. It can make your home safer and more accessible so that it’s easier for you to move about, prepare food, or enjoy your hobbies.

We have considerable experience – over 15 years! – in home modifications. Few OTs can match this level of proficiency. Whether you need a ramp, a few grab rails, or a major home alteration, we can help!

Accessible solutions to improve function, safety & comfort.
Compliance with Australian standards.
Liaison with builders, architects & project managers.

Assistive technology

Assistive technology is designed with your needs in mind. When you have the right equipment and support, it’s easier to get around, meaning you have more energy left for the things you enjoy.

Therapy where you need it

Occupational therapy is a very practical, hands-on form of therapy where you learn by doing.

Occupational therapists like to get out and about with you. If one of your goals is to improve your ability to cook healthy food, for example, we’ll help you choose recipes and make a shopping list, and then we’ll come to the store with you. After that, we’ll come to your kitchen and help you prepare ingredients and make a meal.
