Occupational Therapy
The Occupational Therapist help people participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). The therapist helps people function in all of their environments (e.g., home, work, community) and addresses the physical, psychological, and cognitive aspects of their well-being through engagement in occupation. The goal is to help people recovering from injury, disease debilitation, or prolonged hospitalization regain skills needed to function independently and safely in their environment.
