Assessment of Housing Needs and Disability Adaptations

An Occupational Therapist is in a unique position, by virtue of his or her training, to match a person's living environment to their ability to function within it. Clare Garside has long experience of proposing appropriate adaptations in response to instructions from individuals, family members and Court of Protection Deputies.
