Adaptability Training & Consultancy was founded by Patricia Farrelly who has worked as an Occupational Therapist since qualifying with an Honours Degree from Trinity College Dublin in 1997.

Occupational Therapy is a healthcare profession offering support to people with physical, psychological and social problems to enable them to live life to the fullest. Everyday activities that most people take for granted can become difficult due to illness, injury or disability. Occupational Therapists assess how different health conditions can affect people’s abilities and then recommend solutions to overcome functional limitations. Occupational Therapists offer education and advice to people with disabilities, their families, carers and healthcare workers.
