Housing Authority : scheme 7 : O. T. and housing adaptations for the disabled

Abstract

The following article has been adapted from a presentation given by Ms Vickie Sciberras MSc SROT on the occasion of the O. T. National Day on the 28th October 2000 at the Preluna Hotel Sliema. This article will present an aspect of occupational therapy which all of us as Occupational Therapists have been involved in, since the beginning of our careers but which has recently taken a wider perspective. It refers to our being part of a National Board which is responsible for the provision of financial aid to persons with a disability for adaptation works required in their residences to facilitate their leading a more independent life.
