Tegan Ross is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Smiths Lake, NSW. You can find the practice at 10 Second Ridge road, Smiths Lake NSW 2428. Tegan’s work is centred on helping people manage everyday life, especially when an injury, change in health, or day-to-day limits make things harder than they used to be.
Day-to-day skills matter. That’s why Tegan focuses on things like getting back to routines at home, looking after personal tasks, and building safer ways to do activities. In many cases, this means doing an assessment of daily living skills first, so the plan fits what’s actually happening for the person, not a one-size approach.
Once the needs are clear, Tegan can recommend assistive devices that make day-to-day tasks easier and safer. This might include equipment or simple changes that help someone move, reach, prepare, or complete tasks with less strain. At times, small adjustments can make a big difference to confidence and independence.
Tegan also works on personalised treatment plans. These plans usually look at how a person currently does tasks, what gets in the way, and what strategies could help over time. Training in adaptive techniques is often part of the support, too. It’s not just about knowing what to do, but also practising in a way that feels doable in real life.
Another key part of the work is education on injury prevention. That can mean learning safer ways to handle movements, reduce strain, and spot early signs that something needs changing. The goal is steady progress and support that makes daily routines feel more manageable day by day.
As an OT, Tegan’s focus stays grounded in practical outcomes. The work tends to suit people who are working through recovery, adjusting to functional changes, or needing support to keep doing what matters to them at home. Sessions usually take into account the person’s goals and the everyday challenges they face.
