The Disabled Living Foundation (DLF) in London has a free on-line self-assessment tool called AskSARA. By answering AskSARA's questions about yourself and your environment, you will get advice about ways to make your life easier, details of products that might help you and details of where you can obtain them.
Further information about Occupational Therapy Self Assessments will be added to this section of the web-site in due course. In the meantime, please contact us for further information.
