What a home visit covers
Support in the home, assessed in person
A home visit sees how the client manages in everyday environments — sensory needs, routines, school, social and practical life skills — rather than how they perform in a clinic room. Wondering about support in Melbourne? Tell us what has become difficult day to day and the team explains whether a home visit with Joanne is the right next step.
School, social and practical life skills
Support for school refusal, social participation and everyday practical skills, planned with families, schools and care teams around what matters to the client.
Functional assessments and participation planning
Assessment of what the client does day to day to guide supports, routines and participation — planned with families, schools and care teams. Recommendations follow the OT assessment.
Describe what is difficult at home and the Melbourne team talks it through with you — explaining whether a home visit is the right next step before recommendations are discussed.
