Occupational Therapy

---

 Occupational therapists (OTs) play a crucial role in fostering clients' independence, safety, well-being, and engagement in daily activities that encompass self-care, productivity, work, and leisure. Employing a comprehensive and holistic approach, OTs conduct thorough assessments to gain insights into clients' meaningful goals, preferred lifestyles, and challenges affecting their ability to participate effectively in various activities throughout the day.

The OT assesses both the specific tasks or activities and the surrounding environment, considering the individual's functional capacity. Based on this evaluation, the OT provides tailored recommendations to address barriers hindering task completion. These interventions may involve the prescription of equipment, assistive technology, education, task adaptation, or environmental modifications, all aimed at enabling clients to achieve the highest level of independence and safety in task performance.

To ensure the most comprehensive care and a deep understanding of clients' lives, Occupational Therapy assessments are conducted within the comforts of their own homes.
