Our Occupational Therapists work with
people with disabilities to help them live as independently as
possible, and following an assessment they can provide equipment,
adaptations, rehabilitation and advice.
You will normally receive a visit in your
own home and you will have the opportunity to discuss your needs
and disability issues within the home, at work or in the
community.
The City of
London's
Access Team ensures that action is taken to meet the needs
of disabled people in relation to building design and the external
environment.
Information about disabled parking is
available on the
Disabled Parking pages of our website.

Disabled
people - parking permits - blue badge
- Blue parking badges allow cars carrying people who are
registered blind or people who have severe walking difficulties to
be parked near shops, stations and other facilities. Blue Badges
can only be issued to people who meet the eligibility criteria, not
to relatives or carers. They can be used in any car the badge
holder is driving or is a passenger in.

Occupational
therapy
- Occupational therapy aims to help those with physical
disabilities to achieve an optimum level of functions and mobility.
This may include arranging for walking aids or other equipment or
referring clients to other agencies that can also assist. The
authority usually works with local health providers to assess need
and provide appropriate support.
