Get started on recovering your abilities with the help of Driver Medical Exams and Occupational Therapy services. If you're in Edmonton, our specialized Occupational Therapy Edmonton team is ready to assist you, including our dedicated Paediatric Occupational Therapy professionals who focus on the needs of children.
At Abilities Occupational Therapy Inc., our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-informed occupational therapy services for people of all ages and abilities. We help each client build skills, overcome barriers and participate more fully in the activities that bring meaning, purpose and independence to everyday life.
We believe every person has unique strengths, priorities and potential. Effective occupational therapy begins by listening- understanding what matters to the individual, recognizing the challenges they face and working together toward practical, meaningful goals.
Our personalized approach considers the whole person, including their abilities, environment, routines and life circumstances. Whether someone wants to return to work, regain independence, participate in family life or develop new skills, we provide respectful support tailored to their needs.
Since 2019, Abilities Occupational Therapy has proudly served individuals and families throughout Edmonton and across Alberta.
The clinic was founded by Rubina Dhanji, an occupational therapist with more than 20 years of experience. Rubina established Abilities Occupational Therapy to help address the community’s need for high-quality, individualized occupational therapy delivered with professionalism, compassion and respect.
Since then, Abilities OT has continued to grow while remaining committed to its founding purpose: helping people participate in the activities that matter most to them.
Life can change after an illness, injury or diagnosis. Everyday activities that once felt familiar may become tiring, frustrating or uncertain. Our occupational therapists take the time to understand these changes and help clients find practical ways to move forward.

For individuals whose health or abilities may affect driving, we provide comprehensive driving evaluations designed to support informed decisions about safety and independence. We also assess the need for adaptive driving equipment, including:

At Abilities Occupational Therapy Inc., we provide thoughtful, individualized care that helps people participate more fully in the activities that matter to them. Whether supporting a child’s development, helping an adult regain function or assessing how health changes may affect driving, our focus is always on the whole person-not simply a diagnosis.
Our team of qualified and experienced Edmonton occupational therapists brings clinical knowledge, practical insight and compassion to every appointment.
We support individuals experiencing a range of physical, cognitive, developmental, sensory and emotional challenges. Our services include pediatric occupational therapy, functional and cognitive assessment, rehabilitation support, and comprehensive driving evaluations.
No two people experience the same challenges in exactly the same way. That is why our approach begins by listening.
We take the time to understand each client’s strengths, concerns, daily routines and priorities. From there, we develop an individualized plan focused on meaningful and achievable goals-whether that means building a child’s independence, returning to valued activities or making informed decisions about driving safety.
Abilities Occupational Therapy is proud to serve individuals, families, healthcare professionals and organizations in Edmonton and throughout Alberta.
We are committed to being a trusted and accessible community resource. Through respectful collaboration and practical support, we aim to improve participation, independence and quality of life for the people we serve.
Occupational therapy continues to evolve, and so do we.
Our team draws on current evidence, established assessment methods, specialized training and appropriate technologies to inform our services. We thoughtfully select tools and strategies based on each client’s circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.
Above all, we combine professional knowledge with genuine human connection—helping every client feel heard, respected and supported as they work toward what matters most.
