Abraham Tedjakusuma is an Occupational Therapist (OT) working in Maryville, NSW. You can find the practice at Shop 5, 166 Hannell Street, Maryville NSW 2293. OT helps people build everyday skills for life at home, at work, and in the community, and Abraham’s work focuses on making daily tasks a bit easier to manage.
In many cases, sessions are about assessment of daily living activities. That might mean looking at things like dressing, cooking, personal care, getting around, or other routine tasks that can become harder after an injury, an illness, or when pain and fatigue get in the way. Over time, even small changes can make a real difference, so the plan usually starts with what matters most to the person and what feels hardest on a normal day.
Abraham also helps with recommendations for adaptive equipment. This can include tools that support safer and more comfortable movement, and options that make it easier to reach, grip, write, or manage objects with less strain. At times, the goal is not to do everything the same way, but to use the right support so people can keep doing what they need and enjoy.
Fine motor skills can be another big part of the work. Guidance on improving fine motor skills is often practical and step-by-step, with activities chosen to suit the person’s current level. The focus is on building control and confidence in everyday hands-on tasks, whether that’s using cutlery, handling small items, or getting back to routines that involve more detailed hand movements.
Energy conservation techniques are also part of the picture, especially when fatigue affects daily life. Learning how to pace activities, plan rest breaks, and change how tasks are done can help reduce burnout. This can be useful for people who feel worn out after simple chores, and it can help make days feel more manageable.
For many people, the main outcome is an individual treatment plan. Development of individualized treatment plans means the therapy is tailored, not one-size-fits-all. Abraham works with people to set goals that feel realistic, then adjusts the plan as progress is made. It’s steady, focused support aimed at helping with independence and day-to-day comfort.
