An Occupational Therapist assists people disabled through injury, illness or age-related problems to carry out their desired or required daily activities at home, work or leisure. The therapist helps to maximise the functional ability and occupational performance of an individual, enabling them to establish or regain a reasonable quality of life.
The Occupational Therapist's unique training and experience puts them in the best position to provide assessment, intervention, advice and reports wherever the impact of disability on a person’s everyday life is being considered.
The Therapist strives to ensure a ‘best fit’ between an individual, their life-style and their environment. This may involve direct intervention or rehabilitation with the client, close liaison with the family or carer, advice on relevant equipment, or consideration of adaptations to the person’s home or work environment.

All our Associates
Relevant associates are qualified to use the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)
Our remit covers any situation where functional ability is compromised, from assessment, through management or intervention, to work rehabilitation.
Our clients range from private individuals to business and professional organisations, including the legal profession, insurance companies, employers, the NHS, the private healthcare sector, voluntary organisations, housing associations, local authorities and residential care homes. This has given us unrivalled experience in a wide range of sectors.
Clients use our specialist skills and extensive rehabilitation and community knowledge to help manage the consequences of disability which may arise from acquired conditions, accidents, birth trauma, or be age-related.
Examples are: complex multiple disability; neurological impairment; acquired brain injury; spinal injury; orthopaedic problems; cerebral palsy; work injury.
The UK has an extremely poor record in getting people back to work after serious injury - only 10 percent return to gainful employment compared with 30 percent in the USA and 50 percent in Scandinavia.
Harrison Associates fully supports Rehabilitation First, a campaign that aims to win widespread acceptance of the principle behind the Code of Best Practice on Rehabilitation: that claimant lawyers and insurers consider rehabilitation of the injured party as the first priority.
The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, Forum of Insurance Lawyers, Association of British Insurers and International Underwriting Association of London were all behind the creation of the code.
