Support for Neurological Conditions
Neurological conditions can affect movement, coordination, cognition, sensation, and daily functioning in different ways. Our role is to understand how your condition impacts your everyday life and work alongside you to find practical, meaningful solutions to maximise your independence and quality of life.
Conditions we commonly support
Positive Step provides occupational therapy for a wide range of neurological conditions, including:
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Parkinson’s disease
- Motor neurone disease (MND)
- Stroke and post-stroke changes
- Acquired brain injury (ABI)
- Spinal cord injury (SCI)
- Other progressive or complex neurological conditions
How we can help
Our approach is holistic, practical, and tailored to your individual goals. We focus on supporting function, safety, and quality of life through:
Functional assessment and goal setting
We take the time to understand how your condition affects your daily routines and what is most important to you. Together, we develop clear, meaningful goals that guide your therapy.
Daily living support
We work with you to maintain or improve independence in activities such as:
- Personal care and grooming
- Meal preparation and household tasks
- Mobility and transfers
- Community access and participation
- Work, study, and leisure activities
Rehabilitation and capacity building
Where appropriate, we provide targeted rehabilitation and capacity building programs to help you maintain skills, slow functional decline, or adapt to changes over time. This may include:
- Graded functional retraining
- Fatigue and energy conservation strategies
- Cognitive and task management support
- Equipment training and education
- Environmental adaptations to improve ease and safety
Assistive technology and equipment
We have extensive experience in prescribing assistive technology to support independence and reduce the impact of functional changes. This may include mobility aids, seating, pressure care, daily living equipment, and environmental control solutions.
We prioritise practical solutions that fit into your everyday routines, and where possible, we facilitate equipment trials to ensure suitability before implementation.
Home modifications and environmental support
Our occupational therapists are skilled in identifying home modifications that improve safety, accessibility, and independence. We work with you to adapt your environment so it continues to meet your needs as your condition changes over time.
