Who We Are
Donna Mills started her private practice in 1999 on the Sunshine Coast and has expanded to employ a team of experienced and caring Occupational Therapists. Horizon Occupational Therapy Services provide assessment and management of adults with difficulties participating in their everyday activities. We provide services in your own home, from Bribie Island to Gympie.
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is a client-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and well being through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. Occupational therapists achieve this outcome by working with people and communities to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want to, need to, or are expected to do, or by modifying the occupation or the environment to better support their occupational engagement.
