Occupational therapy is vital for the improvement of the quality of life for people of all ages. Good occupational therapy can be life-changing for many individuals. To be effective, an occupational therapist needs to be qualified, but they also need to be the right fit for the client. Assess your needs, evaluate your therapist’s qualifications and experience and, meet your therapist for an initial consultation so that they can share in detail their plan with you and so that you can get a feel of their personality. Apart from finding a therapist whom you feel comfortable with, you may wish to take note of their registration. Therapists providing occupational therapy are regulated by the Ministry of Health in Singapore through the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC). Therapists holding registrations with AHPC will state so their professional profile and, provide their registration number. You may also go to AHPC’s website to see if your clinician is registered with them.
