Environmental Analysis

Where you live and engage in activities can either support or hinder your participation. Occupational Therapy can identify the following:

• If your home is safe to prevent falls

• If your community allows for safe mobility

• If the location of your activity supports you and ways it can be adapted to promote participation

  • Example: A local church that you go to every Sunday may not have the space available for you to use your walker effectively.

• If you can be supported by adjusting your environment with external aids or technology

An assessment of your home and community environment will be necessary to determine if your surroundings support your engagement in these meaningful activities. Our treatment sessions will involve us performing the task together, so your specific environment can be assessed and adapted to promote participation.

Holistic Life Skills offers an in-person or virtual home safety assessment that can be a one time visit.
