About the Book

Key Skills for Housing Adaptations delves into the crucial role occupational therapists play in helping people with additional needs adapt their homes in order to give them a better quality of life. Highlighting the long-term benefits environmental adjustments can afford, this accessible and practical book combines key skills needed to carry out home adaptations, from professional reasoning skills and cultural considerations to relevant legislation and the roles and remits of people working in the field. Supplemented with knowledge checks preceding every chapter, practical exercises, and case studies as well as digital resources including examples of architectural plans and videos that bring the theory to life, this is a comprehensive and essential tool for both new and seasoned occupational therapists looking to make a positive impact on clients' home lives.
