Occupational Therapy (also known as OT) can assist with supporting individuals to gain skills that optimise their independence and promote increased capacity across all aspects of daily living. 

 

At Influential Equine Therapy, our sessions are conducted in our onsite therapy room with the unique incorporation of one of our highly trained horses. The incorporation of the therapy animal promotes an optimal learning experience and allows our participants the opportunity to practice their newly found skills whilst being motivated in a creative context and having the opportunity to explore the natural outdoor environments. 

 

Our Occupational Therapists work within a person centric framework ensuring all therapy plans are based on a participants individual goals and strengths, and are constructed on the basis of appropriate developmental play with a fun and energetic approach. 

 

We understand that everyone learns differently and have seen the extreme benefits of this unique therapy model catering to those that thrive in a more natural learning environment. 

Some areas our Occupational Therapist may focus on are:
Sensory processing, play/social skills, emotional regulation, gross/fine motor skill development, visual processing, self-care skills and equipment prescription. 

Our Occupational Therapist use a range of standardised assessments to assist with goal setting, these may include but not limited to the below:
- Functional Capacity Assessment
- Activity of Daily Living Assessments
- Sensory Profile Assessments
- Fine and Gross Motor Assessments
