Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapists facilitate independence in life’s many activities. Specialized evaluation and treatment enhances performance by compensating for dysfunction, minimizing disability, and promoting health and wellness. Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Assistants provide treatments which focus on basic or instrumental activities of daily living (ADLs), cognitive/visual-perceptual skill remediation, sensory integration, sensory re-education, equipment recommendations, mobility and transfers, and neuromuscular re-education.

Specific education programs encompass making patients aware of how the outcome of disease or injury affects their daily life functioning. Treatment interventions are always made in conjunction with education. Examples of this include energy conservation/work simplification, ergonomic education for repetitive injury prevention, hip precautions for completion of ADLs, stress management, use of adaptive equipment, home safety adaptations or recommendations, scar management and arthritic/diabetic/cardiac teaching.
