We support individuals, families, service providers, local authorities, health (including Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and legal teams through our specialist assessment process. As Specialist Occupational Therapists within the field of learning disabilities, we know how complex it can be to access the right support at the right time. Our aim is to ensure that those with learning disabilities live a fulfilling life, whilst achieving their optimum health and well-being through meaningful and purposeful occupations from being able to be supported effectively in their own home, catch a bus to go to work to ensuring that the correct equipment is prescribed and being utilised safely.

I have worked with Debbie Bissell for a long time Debbie has always been very professional and thorough in everything she does. It has always been a pleasure to work together and I look forward to continuing to work with Debbie for years to come.Steve Parker PearsonArea Sales Manager, Disable Aids (Cannock) Ltd
I had the pleasure of working with Debbie for 3 years recently and still regularly liaise with her for professional advice. She is the most knowledgeable and talented Occupational Therapist I have worked with. Her person centred and multi faceted approach to assessing and goal planning ensure great outcomes for all clients, particularly those with Sensory Processing Disorder. Debbie takes the time to understand the roles of her colleagues when joint working and her continued desire and drive to learn more and educate others make her the practitioner she is today: intuitive; empowering; and above all person centred. I would work alongside her again in a heartbeatKellie TimminsIndependent Senior Social Worker & Best Interest Assessor,
