•  Exploration of life roles to enhance quality of life.

•  Upper limb assessment and treatment programmes - including GRASP programme and constraint induced movement therapy.

•  Assessments of cognition (including memory, planning, organisation and processing skills) and perception (visual and spatial awareness) and development of cognitive rehabilitation programmes.

•  Support in embedding cognitive strategies into every day life.

•  Brain injury education

•  Fatigue management

•  Falls prevention advice

•  Work placement visits

•  Environmental assessments and recommendations for equipment and minor adaptations

•  Signposting to other services for support and advice including seating specialists, driving test centres and disability employment advisors.
