Occupational therapists (OTs) play a critical role in supporting individuals with disability to live safely, independently, and confidently at home. At EnableU, our OTs work closely with clients and families across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs to understand each person’s goals and environment, then tailor support solutions that promote everyday wellbeing and participation.

Whether you're navigating the NDIS or seeking support through an aged care package, our occupational therapy services can help you adapt your home, develop new skills, and overcome challenges related to physical, cognitive, or sensory conditions.

What Is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is a health profession focused on enabling individuals to engage in the activities (or "occupations") they need and want to do—despite injury, illness, disability, or ageing. These activities may include personal care, meal preparation, managing medications, social participation, and community engagement.

In-home OT services aim to increase function, safety, comfort, and autonomy in familiar environments, which is particularly valuable for people living with long-term disabilities.

Key OT Services Delivered In-Home

Our occupational therapists support clients with:

• Functional assessments – evaluating how you manage daily tasks like dressing, bathing, cooking, and mobility



• Home modifications – recommending changes like grab rails, ramps, widened doorways, or stairlifts to improve safety



• Assistive technology – prescribing equipment such as shower chairs, hoists, adaptive utensils, or communication devices



• Skill development programs – helping clients build independence in routines, social interaction, and executive functioning



• Sensory regulation strategies – supporting individuals with autism or sensory processing differences to feel calm and in control

Supporting All Ages and Disabilities

EnableU’s OTs support children, teens, adults, and older people living with a wide range of disabilities, including:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)



• Intellectual or developmental disability



• Stroke or acquired brain injury (ABI)



• Spinal cord injury or cerebral palsy



• Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, or muscular dystrophy



• Age-related functional decline or cognitive impairment

Working Collaboratively With Your Support Team

At EnableU, our occupational therapists work hand-in-hand with physiotherapists, support coordinators, disability support workers, and family members to deliver holistic care. We participate in plan reviews, progress updates, and case conferencing to ensure all supports are aligned to your goals and evolving needs.

For NDIS participants, this collaborative approach helps justify funding requests for home modifications, equipment, or capacity-building therapies—ensuring you get the support you need.

Occupational Therapy and the NDIS

If you’re an NDIS participant, OT services can be funded under the following budget categories:

• Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living



• Capital Supports – Assistive Technology and Home Modifications

Our team can help you:

• Prepare documentation for NDIS plan reviews



• Attend allied health assessments for funding justifications



• Work alongside your support coordinator or LAC
