Client feedback
The OT Practice provides accurate reports that clearly identified the problems. The solutions they recommended led to adaptations that helped those people continue to live in their own home safely and enables them to complete daily living tasks with more ease.
OT Manager, Bracknell Forrest Council
Debbie’s intervention has been critically important. She very kindly gave up her bank holiday Monday to come quickly and that made a tremendous difference to our daughter’s state of mind, and mine and the rest of the family too!
Father of a private client aged 11
I was very impressed with the therapist. The reports she wrote following assessments with our ASD children were great too.
School SENCO
We contracted The OT Practice to help us clear a backlog of bathing assessments. They took on a batch of cases and worked through them efficiently and professionally, keeping us informed and updated at all times. We also used the OT Practice to carry out assessments as part of the Council’s planned kitchen and bathroom upgrade programme. Again this work was completed efficiently, and we would not hesitate to work with them again.

I have worked with The OT Practice for 5 years and have always found their service seamless. They are always on hand to offer advice or answer any queries I may have. Their reports are clear and concise with clinical rationale for their recommendations. The Occupational Therapists provide regular updates on the clients progress and goals achieved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their service.
