Miss Rachel Chedid is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Westmead, NSW. You’ll find her practice at Unit 23, 1 Ashley Lane, Westmead NSW 2145. Her work centres on helping people build everyday skills, so daily life feels more manageable.
In many cases, occupational therapy is about looking at what a person needs for real life tasks. That might include getting better at routine activities, improving how hands are used, or making sure goals match what actually happens day to day. Rachel focuses on practical change, not just theory.
Rachel helps with assessment of daily living skills. This kind of assessment looks at how someone does the small things that can add up, like self-care tasks, getting through the day, and doing activities that matter to them. At times, it also helps to spot what’s getting in the way, whether it’s strength, movement, coordination, or just the way tasks are set up.
She also offers therapeutic exercises. These are planned to support movement and function, with a steady, do-able approach. The goal is to build skills over time, rather than rushing, and to make sure exercises fit in with everyday life.
Another key part of her work is recommendations for adaptive equipment. Sometimes, a simple tool or smart change to the way something is done can make a big difference. Rachel looks at what would help most and gives clear, practical suggestions that are easier to use than people expect.
Fine motor skills can be a big focus too. Rachel provides fine motor skills training for better hand control, coordination, and task accuracy. This can be useful for people who find it hard to manage small movements, like handling items, using utensils, or completing day-to-day actions that depend on finger control.
Rachel’s approach is calm and grounded. She aims to break things down into steps, so progress feels realistic and achievable. Over time, that can help people feel more confident with what they need to do at home, at school, or in the community.
