Physical Disability
We understand that physical disability incorporates Deafness, blindness and a multitude of other physical conditions - some that individuals are born with and others that are acquired, some relatively common and others quite rare.
Psychology can help with:
Adjusting to disability and accepting limitations
Working around physical (and other) limitations to build a balanced and meaningful life, including through goal-setting and related steps
Maintenance and building of foundation aspects of wellbeing such as sleep, diet and exercise (within capacity)
Working towards goals through considering barriers and what may assist in achieving steps along the way
Supporting advocacy for accommodations in various environments
Accessing any government/ community supports available
Communicating effectively with support workers/ interpreters and managing such supports to suit you
Supporting connection with others with similar disability for peer support
