UNLIMIT-ED in the Community
The ability to access and engage with the local and broader community is important to a person’s sense of self and belonging. Our community-based Occupational Therapy services are aimed at assisting people with injury and illness to overcome the obstacles that prevent UNLIMIT-ED access to the places that are important to them.
