About Occupational Therapy:
Occupational Therapy is a rehabilitation profession that helps people achieve independence in their daily lives. Occupational Therapists work with people of all ages who have physical, developmental, social or emotional difficulties. This includes people with work-related injuries, strokes, arthritis, learning disabilities, mental health or burns, fractures, amputations, hip replacements and fine motor/gross motor deficits.
Occupational Therapy includes adapting tasks and the environment to meet the patient’s needs, training in the use of adaptive equipment to replace lost function, and individualized treatment programs to maximize the person’s independence in their self-care, work and/or leisure activities.
