How Skills Development Services Can Help You

Our Skills Development services are designed to address a wide range of needs, helping individuals with:


  • Fine and Gross Motor Skills: We help individuals improve their motor skills to perform tasks such as dressing, cooking, using utensils, and writing, or engaging in recreational activities.


  • Cognitive Skills: We provide strategies and activities to improve cognitive functions like memory, attention, decision-making, and problem-solving.


  • Social and Communication Skills: For those who struggle with social interactions, we help develop communication skills, including understanding body language, maintaining conversations, and building relationships.


  • Self-Care and Daily Living Skills: We work with individuals to enhance their ability to perform daily tasks such as personal hygiene, meal preparation, time management, and money handling, fostering greater independence.


  • Work and Academic Skills: Our services support individuals in developing skills that can help them succeed in work or educational settings, such as organisation, focus, and task management.

What’s Involved in Skills Development?

Our Skills Development programs are highly personalised and designed to meet the unique needs of each individual. The process typically involves:


  • Initial Consultation and Assessment: We begin by assessing the individual’s current abilities, challenges, and goals. This helps us understand the areas that require improvement and develop a tailored skills development plan.


  • Goal Setting: Together with the individual (and their family or carers, if applicable), we set realistic and meaningful goals for skills development. These may focus on improving specific skills, increasing independence, or achieving success in a particular area of life.


  • Personalised Skills Development Plan: Based on the assessment, we create a detailed plan that includes targeted activities and exercises to develop the necessary skills. This plan is regularly reviewed and adjusted to ensure continuous progress.


  • Ongoing Therapy and Support: Our Occupational Therapists provide one-on-one sessions where we teach and practise new skills, offering support, guidance, and feedback along the way. We also provide strategies that can be used at home or in everyday settings.


  • Progress Monitoring: We continuously monitor the individual’s progress, making adjustments to the program as needed to ensure that the goals are being met and that new skills are being successfully integrated into daily life.

Skills Development Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Skills Development?

    Skills Development focuses on helping individuals build and improve the abilities they need to function effectively in their daily lives.

    Our Occupational Therapists tailor the program to the unique needs of each individual, ensuring that they receive the right support to develop the specific skills required for independence and success in their personal, social, or work environments.
