Physical Therapy

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapist (OTs) are highly-educated, licensed health care professionals who help people of all ages participate in the activities they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities, also known as occupations. Occupational therapy services may include comprehensive evaluations of the client’s home, safety modifications recommendations, recommendations for adaptive equipment, training on how to use said adaptive equipment, and education for family members and caregivers.

Occupational therapy services typically include an individualized evaluation where the client, their family, and the occupational therapist work together to determine the client’s goals. Next the OT develops an individualized intervention plan based upon the discussed goals to allow the client perform their daily activities with more independence and safety. The OT will perform monthly re-evaluation to monitor progress and/or make modifications to the client’s plan of care. Once the client has met their goals, an outcome or discharge evaluation is performed.
In short, occupational therapists work together with the rehabilitation team to enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, and prevent-or live better with-injury, illness, or disability.
