your decision making now and into the future.
2. For use by a qualified Occupational Therapist
An holistic assessment tool to support an assessing Occupational Therapist. This assessment tool also channels the Occupational Therapist back to the needs and wants you have thought about regarding your accommodation.
3. Team approach to current and future planning and problem solving
A document that combines your input with the OT's clinical prescription with the option for a builder to provide either an estimate or a detailed quote to meet the melding together of both your work and the OTs prescription.

It may be that this planning tool identifies the need for different, more appropriate accommodation in the short-term or future years or it may help to find ways to stay in accommodation that meets much more than just a health or care need for yourself, your family or care givers. It is a planning tool that can assist you with budget planning for a variety of home modifications but most importantly it's a planning tool that can help you make decisions that are right for you
