Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy intervention uses everyday life activities (occupations) to promote health, well-being, and your ability to participate in the important activities in your life. This includes any meaningful activity that a person wants to accomplish, including taking care of yourself and your family, working, volunteering, going to school, among many others.
Occupational therapy services typically include:
A consultation assessment that includes your occupational profile - client and family needs, values, environment, abilities, goals.
A tailored intervention plan to improve ability to perform daily activities (in school, work or safely at home) and reach goals.
Outcomes consultation to make sure that the goals set are being met.
