Our Mission
At Abilities Occupational Therapy Inc., we provide compassionate, evidence-informed care for people of all ages and abilities. We help clients build skills, overcome barriers and participate more fully in the activities that support meaning, independence and quality of life.
Our Philosophy
Effective occupational therapy starts with listening. We take the time to understand each client’s strengths, challenges, environment and priorities, then work together toward practical, meaningful goals.
Whether you want to return to work, regain independence, participate in family life or develop new skills, our care is personalized to your needs.
Our Story
Founded in 2019 by Rubina Dhanji, an occupational therapist with more than 27 years of experience, Abilities Occupational Therapy serves individuals and families throughout Edmonton and across Alberta.
Our purpose remains simple: to provide professional, individualized care that helps people participate in the activities that matter most.
We’re Here to Support You
Illness, injury or a new diagnosis can make everyday activities more difficult. Our occupational therapists help clients develop or relearn skills for:
- Work and productive activities
- Personal care and household routines
- Recreation and leisure
- Community participation
- Safe, independent daily living
We support individuals affected by brain injuries, strokes, cardiac conditions and serious injuries.
Our Pediatric Occupational Therapy services help children with developmental delays, physical challenges, learning differences, sensory-processing needs, and emotional or behavioural difficulties. We also recommend strategies, adaptive equipment and technology to support participation at home, school and in the community.
For individuals whose health or abilities may affect driving, we offer comprehensive driving evaluations to support informed decisions about safety and independence. We can also assess the need for adaptive equipment, including:
- Left-sided gas pedals
- Hand controls
- Spinner knobs
- Other vehicle adaptations
At every stage, we provide thoughtful, personalized care that respects your circumstances and goals.
You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Connect with our compassionate Edmonton occupational therapy team to learn how we can support you or someone you care about.
