Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) is a branch of health care that helps people of all ages who have physical, sensory, or cognitive problems. OT can help them regain independence in all areas of their lives.

Occupational therapists help with barriers that affect a person's emotional, social, and physical needs. To do this, they use everyday activities, exercises, and other therapies.

OT helps kids play, improves their school performance, and aids their daily activities. It also boosts their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment. Occupational therapy services typically include:

1. An individualized evaluation, during which the client/family and occupational therapist determine the person’s goals.
2. customized intervention to improve the person’s ability to perform daily activities and reach the goals.
3. an outcomes evaluation to ensure that the goals are being met and/or make changes to the intervention plan.
