At OT trauma tools we develop specific programs that are targeted at psychosocial disabilities.
2. Evidence-based: The support must be based on current evidence and best practice.
OT Trauma tools use evidenced-based strategies in our programs. Some techniques and strategies we focus on include.
- Goal-setting and problem-solving: An occupational therapist can work with the individual to set goals and develop a plan for achieving those goals, as well as problem-solve any barriers to achieving them.
- Skills training: Occupational therapy can teach skills for managing symptoms of mental illness, such as stress management, relaxation techniques, and coping strategies.
- Routine development: An occupational therapist can help an individual develop a daily routine that promotes structure and consistency in their life, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals with mood disorders or anxiety.
- Executive functioning strategies: strategies to improve their ability to plan, organize, initiate, and complete tasks. Executive functioning refers to a set of cognitive skills that are necessary for managing daily life activities, such as time management, decision-making, and problem-solving.
- Sensory modulation: An occupational therapist can provide sensory modulation techniques to help individuals manage sensory processing issues related to mental illness.
3. Cost-effective: The support must be considered cost-effective in relation to the outcomes it will achieve for the participant.
4. Value for money: The support must represent value for money, and the cost of the support must be reasonable in relation to the benefits it will provide to the participant.
