Therapy Services providers take in to account the nature of disability, the occupations, the environments and the participants themselves. When working with people with complex needs, therapists need to form a bond and understanding over not just an hour-long meeting but also over a long period of time, so as to better understand their needs. This also involves interacting with the families and other stakeholders to achieve a better outcome for these therapeutic interventions.
