Demonstration content, written by a contributor who works as an occupational therapist. A typical home visit involves looking at how you move around your kitchen, bathroom and stairs, and discussing what tasks are hardest.

It can help to make a short list beforehand of the specific moments in your day that are difficult, rather than trying to describe everything at once.

This is general professional context, not an assessment of your own home or needs.
