Occupational therapy

What is occupational therapy?

Occupational therapy enables people of all ages to participate in daily living.  Occupational therapists use everyday life activities (occupations) to promote health, well-being, and the ability to participate in the important activities in life. This can include taking care of yourself and your family, working, volunteering, going to school, and other activities.

Who can benefit from occupational therapy?

A person with cognitive impairments, decreased body strength, vision problems, balance, sensory perception, hand-eye coordination, or motor skills can benefit from focused work on how to regain or develop certain functional skills.
