Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy assists children having difficulty with everyday activities (occupations). Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes. Occupational therapy services typically include:

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