About Everyday Living Therapy

We were asked to meet with Client 1 to provide a professional view on his capability to work. A brain injury as a child had left conditions such cognitive issues and cortical blindness making day to day life very limited and frustrating as he was reliant on others for large proportions of the day.

Through education in modern communication devices using voice recognition controls he was able to change his role and become the person who helped other people for a change when using modern IOS systems. An improvement in mood and independence led to him being able to run a small online business.

Word of mouth led Client 2 our way for support when leaving the hospital after a long-standing neurological diagnosis, and recent surgery for the removal of a tumour on the spine.

Our role was to bridge the gap between the NHS hospital and community rehabilitation services, stopping the need for further inpatient treatment.

Not only were we able to allow the client to continue their rehabilitation in their home environment, we were also involved in the planning and organising of the discharge process. This involved training carers in the use of equipment designed to improve the client’s mobility and ensuring the client would be cared for in the correct way.

After a significant fall and multiple orthopaedic injuries we were asked to support Client 3 with equipment provision and assist with the return to work process.

Our assessment made it clear that on-going physical and functional limitations meant the client would require a considerable amount of rehabilitation before a return to work was possible.

Over a few years, our team worked alongside his case manager and physiotherapist to work towards the final goal, and although there were several complications and setbacks along the way Client 3 now runs his own business and, importantly, is enjoying his work.
