Occupational Therapy
Benefits of OT • Extends beyond physical health • Promotes greater independence • Enhances participation in meaningful activities • Improves mental health and well-being • Helps manage chronic conditions, cognitive impairments, or developmental delays • Offers adaptive techniques to live more fully and safely
Occupational Therapy helps individuals perform daily activities more independently and safely. OTs look at how a person’s condition affects their ability to carry out tasks such as dressing, cooking, working, or driving. Rather than focusing solely on physical rehabilitation, occupational therapy also considers cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors. An OT might assist a stroke survivor with adapting their home and routines to regain independence in daily life or teach strategies for managing memory loss.
