Medical Legal Assessment & Consultation

After a traumatic personal injury event, it is critical to identify all areas of dysfunction through comprehensive assessment to develop the most effective treatment plan. Our experienced occupational therapists assess adults and children comprehensively, including physical, cognitive, behavioural and psycho-social aspects, and take a case management approach to every client’s care.

Our team is led by occupational therapists with extensive understanding of the medical legal system. Our reports are internally reviewed, and all clinicians receive mentorship and support on working within the complex medical legal system.

We are part of the Ontario Rehab Alliance and have had presence on the Ontario Society of Occupational Therapist’s auto sector team. Our therapists are continually upgrading their skills to offer our clients the interventions that best meet their needs.

 We assess and treat clients with complex injuries, which may include:

  • Acquired brain injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Neurological injury
  • Complex orthopaedic – fractures, ligament/muscle tears, amputations, hand injuries
  • Multiple traumas, internal injuries, or burns
  • Chronic pain
  • Or with significant pre-existing medical history or psychological overlay impacting rehabilitation
