Are you looking for ways to enhance your healthcare experience? Consider the benefits of working with an allied health assistant (AHA)!
AHAs play a crucial role in supporting allied health professionals, such as occupational therapists, in delivering high-quality care. Here are some key reasons why you should consider working with an AHA:
- Improved Access to Care: By working with an AHA, our occupational therapists can see more clients and reduce wait times. This means you can get the care you need sooner, leading to better health outcomes.
- Cost-Effective Care: AHAs provide valuable support to occupational therapists, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks. This can lead to cost savings, making healthcare more affordable and accessible.
- Child-Centred Care: TPAG AHAs who work with children are trained to provide care that is tailored to the unique needs of young people. They understand the importance of creating a safe and engaging environment that promotes connection and development.
- Developmental Support: AHAs are skilled in assisting with activities and therapies that are essential for children's development and well-being. TPAG AHAs work in consultation with our occupational therapists to tailor and deliver therapy plans that support development.
- Family Involvement: AHAs recognise the importance of family involvement in a child’s care. They work collaboratively with parents and caregivers to provide education and support, empowering them to actively participate in their child’s therapy. They provide valuable support to these children and their families, helping them navigate the challenges they may face.
- Comprehensive Services: TPAG AHAs specialise in paediatric care and are trained in a wide range of skills, including play therapy, sensory needs, and behavioural management. This comprehensive approach ensures that children receive holistic care that addresses their physical, emotional, and social needs.
- Early Intervention: AHAs play a crucial role in early intervention programs for children with developmental delays or disabilities. They work closely with allied health professionals to implement treatment plans that promote early development and improve long-term outcomes.
- Promotion of Independence: AHAs are trained to promote independence in children by teaching them essential life skills and encouraging them to explore their environment. They provide a supportive and nurturing environment that fosters growth and development.
- Collaboration with Allied Health Professionals: AHAs who specialise in paediatric care work closely with therapists, and educators, to ensure that children receive comprehensive care that addresses their unique needs.
