Clearing Rubbish
"An individual was unsure of where to start with cleaning their living room and overtime rubbish piled up. The person worked with Occupational Therapy and identified steps to clear the floor. The person removed a small amount of rubbish at a time and over a few days they had cleared the floor. Breaking things into small manageable chunks meant that the person was able to clear the floor”.
