Independent living self-help guides

Published: 29 August 2024Last Updated: 16 October 2025

Not everyone needs a full Occupational Therapy assessment or assessment of their visual impairment needs, or wants to wait for one. If you are beginning to have some difficulties managing everyday tasks at home, you might be able to find a solution via our self-help guides.

These guides provide information about buying your own equipment or arranging a change to your home (making an adaptation). They give you advice about what to consider. 
 
If you still want help after reading the guides, then contact us to arrange an Occupational Therapy assessment or visual impairment team assessment.
