Helping you achieve more independence
Daily Living On Your Own
The Daily Living Skills Program at Therapy Achievements focuses on helping individuals re-gain the ability to do tasks necessary for daily living – cooking, cleaning, going to work, driving, shopping and getting together with friends.
Driving Rehab
Our Driving Rehabilitation Services empower people to achieve more independence in their lives. Componenets of our Driving Rehab program include:
· Driver Readiness Training – This program is designed to help new drivers determine if they are ready to drive and equip them with the skills they will need to be successful.
· Driver Safety Evaluations – This assessment helps identify driving safety issues and how to address them. A driving rehab specialist will assess your physical and cognitive abilities to identify any safety issues. Your therapist will work with you to devise a plan to address them and train you in risk reduction and compensatory strategies.
· Adaptive Driving – This program helps determine if hand controls, left gas accelerator or other adaptive equipment is necessary to drive safely. A driving rehab specialist will assess what equipment will best meet your needs and train you in how to use it.\
· Bioptic Driving - Bioptic driving can be an option for people who have low vision that can't be corrected by other methods, such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, surgery or medication. Once your low vision specialist has prescribed the correct bioptic lens for you, our Driving Rehab Specialist will work with you on using that lens to negotiate your community and drive safely.
Adaptive Technology
Functional Living and Adaptive Technology can enable people with paralysis and other disabling conditions access to their environment in ways that were not possible in the past. We will work with you to identify devices that will allow greater independence and help you to be less dependent on family members and caregivers.
Wheelchair Evaluations
Maneuverability, postural support, durability, weight, transport options, and control access are all factors to consider when choosing a wheelchair to meet your needs. Therapy Achievements works as a team with you, your vendor, and your doctor to ensure you get the right chair with the right fit so you can mobilize comfortability.
Low Vision Services
The Low Vision and Visual Rehabilitation Service at Therapy Achievements can help individuals with all levels of vision loss ranging from mild visual impairment to legal blindness. Our comprehensive approach to care provides occupational therapists who are trained to evaluate your condition and identify an individualized rehabilitation plan to help you maximize remaining functional vision and maintain independence in daily living.
