Welcome to Able 2 Occupational Therapy Services

Able 2 has a loyal group of staff made up of Occupational Therapists, contract managers and administration assistants who dedicate their time to the community, making sure that no disability can restrict our clients from leading a fulfilled life.

Able 2, established in 1990, has always been based in Shropshire and our Midlands location means that we are able to offer Occupational Therapy services to those all over the UK. Now going for 20 years, Able 2 has built itself a reputation for providing Occupational Therapy Assessment and Consultancy Services to Local Authority Children Services, Adult Services and Grants Departments, Housing Associations, Home Improvement Agencies, Charities and Health Authorities to name but a few.

Able 2 Occupational Therapists provide you with the opportunity to allocate a number of assessments dependent upon the needs of your service. Our Occupational Therapists are able to undertake either a large number of referrals on your behalf to enable you to effectively tackle your waiting list or smaller numbers on a monthly or individual basis to maintain an effective, efficient service.

Following the initial assessment Able 2 Occupational Therapy Services will produce a detailed assessment report and will arrange for the necessary equipment, minor and major adaptations to be provided and undertake review calls and visits where necessary. By doing so, Able 2 relieve the administrative and professional burden and subsequent cost to Children and Adult Social Care Services whilst ensuring that your service user is supported and assisted throughout the process.

The quality of our service is not however limited to the skill and professionalism of our Able 2 Occupational Therapists. Able 2, has a team of trained dedicated administrative staff whose role is to process assessment reports accurately and efficiently and are available for enquiries to support the client throughout the process.

It is no longer acceptable to have long waiting lists for Occupational Therapy Assessments. Able 2 provides a cost effective Occupational Therapist Service, at a lower unit cost than in-house staff, which enables you to rapidly respond to those referred for Assessment and facilitates your ability to demonstrate efficient and effective management of your service.

All of the Able 2 Occupational Therapists are highly skilled and trained. Each one is HPC registered and has a minimum of 5 years practical experience. They are strategically situated across the country and are supervised and supported by our Occupational Therapy Managers. This confirms the Able 2 commitment to providing professional, robust and relevant assessments.

Our objective at Able 2 Occupational Therapy Services is to provide cost effective, complementary services which enable organisations to respond to the increasing demand for Occupational Therapist Assessment Services within the new personalisation agenda.

The new agenda for change ensures that the disabled person’s experience of the assessment process is positive and inclusive, providing them with relevant information so that they are able to make informed decisions which are appropriate both to themselves and their families. Here at Able 2, our Occupational Therapists and administrative staff ensure that our clients receive the best service and the best solutions for their needs.

Able 2’s experience has been that when we enter into a contract with a new Local Authority their expectation is that it will be a short term relationship to resolve a particular service difficulty. However due to the quality, efficiency and continuity of the Occupational Therapists and administration staff’s service we continue to work and develop our relationship with them for many years. To ensure that Able 2 Occupational Therapists continue to achieve and maintain this standard we are currently striving to achieve ISO registration, which will assist in the monitoring of our work ensuring that we achieve the appropriate outcome and standards required.
