Andrew Mackinnon is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Leederville, WA. His practice is at 251 Oxford Street, Leederville WA 6007. Andrew works with people of all ages who want more confidence in everyday life, whether that means getting through daily tasks at home, school, or work.
Occupational therapy is all about looking at what matters in daily living. Andrew focuses on practical changes that can make day-to-day routines easier. This might include looking at how someone manages personal care, getting dressed, cooking basics, household tasks, or other daily activities. In many cases, small adjustments can help more than people expect.
At appointments, Andrew will often start with an assessment of daily living activities. He checks what is going well, what is getting in the way, and what goals feel realistic. From there, he helps shape a plan that fits the person and their day-to-day needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Adaptive equipment can also be a big part of the plan. Andrew recommends the right kind of tools and supports to help someone do tasks safely and with less stress. That could mean changes that support grip, reach, comfort, or movement, depending on the situation. Sometimes the goal is independence; other times it’s about making activities safer and more manageable.
Fine motor skills are another key area Andrew helps with. If hand strength, coordination, or finger control is affecting daily tasks, he can guide work to build those skills step by step. This can be useful for children who are still developing these abilities, or for adults who are working to recover or adjust after a change in function.
Over time, Andrew helps people practise new routines and build skills in a way that makes sense. He aims to keep things clear, calm, and doable. You’ll usually leave with a better idea of what to focus on next and what supports can help in real life.
Andrew’s occupational therapy training supports his hands-on, practical approach. If you’re looking for help with daily activities, adaptive equipment, or fine motor skills, Andrew Mackinnon is ready to help you sort out the next steps.
