and ensure that they were able to continue to live their life to their fullest potential. After studying to become an occupational therapist (OT), Vicki worked within the hospital setting that provided her with the opportunity to meet a variety of people and learn how the health system worked in Australia.\u00a0 During this time Vicki saw a huge need for additional community based OT support with people living in their home environments often facing minimum six months waitlists for OT services. With this in mind she began working as a private occupational therapist treating people within their home environments, ensuring that they did not have a lengthy wait. As this need increased over time so did the type and level of service provided. The structure of the business changed over time and Vicki moved from sole practitioner to running a comprehensive occupational therapy practice providing specialised therapy services that address each individual\u2019s needs.\u00a0 The OTs visit each client in their own home environment and provide holistic assessment, client goal directed therapy and assistance\/advocacy to ensure clients have essential supports in place to maximise independence and quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vicki\u2019s vision has always been to continually evaluate community needs and for the Abraham OT Services Pty Ltd (AOTS) practice to provide timely and evidence based OT services.\u00a0 After much research within the rehabilitation field, AOTS established an evidence based clinic specialising in Upper Limb Rehabilitation, so that clients who are unable to use, or have limited use of their arm have the opportunity to regain movement in order to incorporate this arm into their daily occupations (daily living activities). The therapies provided aim to enhance client\u2019s independence, wellbeing and quality of life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2022 Vicki decided it was time to expand the use of robotic to lower limb therapy so that AOTS clients can experience a holistic approach to their rehabilitation.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Vicki\u2019s clinic has been recognised as the only Tyromotion Reference Centre in Australia due to all the work Vicki has been doing with Tyromotion devices.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with this Vicki saw the need to provide experienced support coordination to the NDIS community.\u00a0 In 2021 AOTS expanded further and started providing Support Coordination services through NDIS funding.\u00a0 This need has increased since then and the AOTS support coordination team continues to grow as the demand continues to increase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k6m9x1bu-3-c2e0a2e6cd3a22447043b3922afdd952\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-k6m9x1bu-3-c2e0a2e6cd3a22447043b3922afdd952{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-k6m9x1bu-3-c2e0a2e6cd3a22447043b3922afdd952 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k6matbod-60e6d048f31e84968eed1869638e0d8c\">\n.avia-section.av-k6matbod-60e6d048f31e84968eed1869638e0d8c{\nbackground-color:#e0e0e0;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_2'  class='avia-section av-k6matbod-60e6d048f31e84968eed1869638e0d8c main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-fixed container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-24'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k6m9x1bu-2-7fbc17b6d2d50ad55da0825bf5913b5b\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-k6m9x1bu-2-7fbc17b6d2d50ad55da0825bf5913b5b{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-k6m9x1bu-2-7fbc17b6d2d50ad55da0825bf5913b5b hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_before_av_button  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-k5yzlhsc-ac0a6fcede6c9535cf85b1c27529dd1f-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '><a href='mailto:admin@aots.com.au'  class='avia-button av-k5yzlhsc-ac0a6fcede6c9535cf85b1c27529dd1f avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color'  ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >GET IN TOUCH WITH US<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k6m9x1bu-1-55d21107d96af2cdda30c1d267d03b4d\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-k6m9x1bu-1-55d21107d96af2cdda30c1d267d03b4d{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-k6m9x1bu-1-55d21107d96af2cdda30c1d267d03b4d hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_button  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_2'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-24'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.0 -
