Assistive Technology and Equipment

At Sunrise Occupational Therapy we will spend time finding out about your typical daily life and what you want, need or are expected to do.

Do you require assistive equipment that can help make everyday activities much easier, such as an electrical bed, a scooter, a recliner, or a wheelchair upgrade?  Sunrise Occupational Therapy have expertise in seating and positioning, complex equipment prescriptions, access solutions to technology and manual handling protocols.


Whether for adults or teenagers, we offer creative and innovative occupational therapy solutions that achieve positive therapeutic outcomes.


Sunrise Occupational Therapy can help you to determine what type of assistive equipment that will support you and discuss options.


If your needs can be met with simple equipment and minor adaptations, these can usually be prescribed.
