Adapting your home - help for children and young people with disabilities

Making your home safer for your child/young person

The Occupational Therapy (OT) service offer guidance and support for you and your child/young person's home adaptation needs.

If your child/young person requires home adaptations, the pages below aim to help you understand and navigate the process. Our aim is to help parents/carers:

• with major home adaptations already in progress.
