Occupational Therapy

At Mind Heaven Trauma-Informed Neurodivergence Centre, we offer occupational therapy (OT) assessments and interventions, specifically tailored for neurodivergent adults and young adults. Our occupational therapist works collaboratively to empower individuals by enhancing their skills, building confidence, and supporting meaningful participation in daily life.

Occupational therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who are autistic, have ADHD, or experience other neurodivergent challenges. By focusing on practical, person-centered strategies, OT helps bridge the gap between an individual’s unique needs and the demands of their environment.

What Is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is a holistic, client-centered approach that supports individuals in achieving their goals, improving their quality of life, and navigating the challenges of everyday activities. The term “occupations” refers to the meaningful activities people engage in daily, such as work, education, self-care, and leisure.

For neurodivergent individuals, OT focuses on fostering independence, promoting self-awareness, and enhancing the ability to adapt to different environments and routines.
