Our Mission

At NAM-therapy we are dedicated to provide families with effective, resourceful, therapeutic interventions that focus on both parent’s and children’s needs in order to address children’s developmental delays and functionality in everyday living.

Our Vision

Our vision is to offer an easily accessible, practical and high-quality Occupational Therapy service to every child and parent we encounter, in and around Windhoek and the bigger Namibia, by providing positive, resourceful, relevant, professional, evidenced-based interventions.

We also aim to promote the importance, awareness and understanding of Occupational Therapy since it is such a diverse and interesting healthcare profession. OT is very relevant for this time we live in and can have a profoundly positive impact on normal childhood development within this generation – especially in the field of paediatrics.

Of course, the field of paediatrics is only a tiny fracture of what Occupational therapists do.

In general, Occupational therapy focuses on helping a person to do all the activities of daily living that they need to and want to do. These might include work, school, play, personal care, hobbies, socializing, household tasks, etc.

By helping people carry out their daily activities, Occupational therapy aims to promote health and improve quality of life. Occupational therapists work to help people develop, recover, and improve while maintaining the skills that they need to live their lives optimally.
