Traffic Accident (SAAQ)
You were involved in a traffic accident?
Following a road accident covered by the SAAQ, your treating physician may recommend consulting an occupational therapist. Assessments and treatments in occupational therapy are fully covered by the SAAQ.
During the first session, which lasts approximately 75 minutes, the occupational therapist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your situation. This evaluation aims to identify physical and/or cognitive barriers that may hinder your ability to resume your professional or daily activities. Based on the results, a personalized intervention plan will be developed in collaboration with you, taking into account the goals you wish to achieve. This plan can be adjusted according to the progress of your condition or changes in your priorities.
The frequency of occupational therapy sessions depends on your needs and may range from weekly visits to bi-weekly visits.
How Can Occupational Therapy Facilitate Your Rehabilitation and Return to Activity?
The occupational therapist will work with you to improve your autonomy in performing meaningful activities. Some of the interventions offered include:
- Functional exercises tailored to your professional or domestic tasks.
- Simulations of professional activities to promote rehabilitation.
- Education on preventive practices, such as posture hygiene, pain management, joint protection, and energy conservation.
- Advice on efficiently managing your schedule and daily activities.
The goal of occupational therapy is to maximize your independence and support you in returning to important activities, whether they are professional, domestic, or social.

Occupational Therapy Services for SAAQ Clients
After a road accident, whether it was your fault or not, we are here to help you return to your daily activities.
If you are having difficulty performing your usual tasks following the accident, it is important to consult a doctor for an assessment. If they recommend occupational therapy treatments, you can then visit the clinic of your choice.
To begin care, we will need the following documents:
- A medical prescription specifying the recommended physiotherapy treatments
- Your SAAQ claim number
- The name of your SAAQ agent
To open a file with the SAAQ, we will also ask you to sign a consent form for information exchange between our clinic and the SAAQ. We will handle sending this information directly to the SAAQ.
Once we receive authorization from the SAAQ to start treatments, we will contact you to schedule an appointment at your convenience.
