COVID-19

OT Works! continues to provide occupational therapy during COVID-19. OT Works! has adapted and ready to better support everyone – our clients, customers, therapists, staff and our communities – in a safe and responsible way.

We believe occupational therapy is essential to maintaining the health and wellbeing of the public.

We have developed specific COVID-19 policies and procedures to keep clients, therapists and staff safe.

We have provided training on our Safety Plan to all our therapists and staff. As a regulated profession, we follow the directions of the College of Occupational Therapists of British Columbia (COTBC). We regularly monitor developments and guidance from the Public Health Officer of BC, BC Center for Disease Control, the Government of Canada, WorkSafeBC, and regional health authorities. We review all guidance and update policies and procedures accordingly.

Occupational Therapy in-person and by Telehealth

Our OTs help clients in-person and remotely by Telehealth. Telehealth is our preferred method of service delivery when the services can be deliver therapeutic value effectively. Where telehealth is not appropriate, we see clients in person supported by a series of new safety measures to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
