Are there any neuroaffirmative OT’s that would do house calls? My daughter really wants help but struggles with leaving the house and is not keen on video calls

So my mum has been in hospital for the past 2 months, she had limited mobility and the stairs were an issue. Since hospital she has become even less mobile and can barely get up 1 step. Because of this and after speaking with her doctors etc, I thought it best to move her downstairs. I set up the room nicely for her and my daughter took her old room. When I informed her that this was a permanent situation she got upset. She was under the impression that her physical state would improve (I have been told otherwise, as has she). Was I premature in moving my daughter into her old room? She is also refusing home help because she says she can manage, and yet has been calling on me constantly since she came home and expects me to be at her beck and call

My daughter is 12, she has been struggling in school and has missed a lot of days. She used to be so outgoing and funny and loved her friends, then 3 years ago, they had a falling out, some bullying was involved and she has just climbed into a shell and won’t come out. I had been putting everything down to school anxiety after she lost her friendship group, but it has grown and we decided to get an assessment. Turns out she is autistic, and has a lot of sensory issues and is apparently on the verge of a breakdown. It’s so upsetting, she has missed the last 2 weeks of school and says she can’t go tomorrow, I can see she wants to go, she hates missing out, but she is really struggling. Brought her to the cinema because she has been begging to see a movie, but we had to leave 30 mins in. I also have to balance her needs with the rest of the family who deeply resent her behavior. I have an OT appointment next week, really hoping they can help
