Assessment and Evaluation: Occupational therapists conduct assessments to evaluate an individual’s abilities, limitations, and goals related to daily activities. This includes assessing physical, cognitive, sensory, and psychosocial factors that may affect participation in activities such as self-care, work, leisure, and social engagement.

Treatment Planning and Intervention: Based on the assessment findings, occupational therapists develop individualized treatment plans to address specific goals and challenges. Interventions may include therapeutic exercises, adaptive techniques, environmental modifications, assistive devices, and skill-building activities. The aim is to improve functional abilities and promote independence in daily activities.

Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training: Occupational therapists focus on enhancing an individual’s ability to perform activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing, grooming, toileting, and feeding. They provide training and strategies to promote independence and develop skills needed for self-care.

Cognitive Rehabilitation: Occupational therapists work with individuals who have cognitive impairments due to conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurodegenerative disorders. They provide interventions to improve cognitive functions, including attention, memory, problem-solving, and executive functioning skills.

Sensory Integration: Occupational therapists address sensory processing difficulties in individuals who struggle with sensory sensitivities or challenges. They use sensory integration techniques and activities to help individuals effectively process and respond to sensory stimuli, improving their ability to participate in daily activities.

Work and Vocational Rehabilitation: Occupational therapists assist individuals in returning to work or engaging in meaningful vocational activities. They assess work-related skills, provide work modifications, develop ergonomic strategies, and offer vocational counseling to support individuals in achieving their occupational goals.

Assistive Technology: Occupational therapists are knowledgeable about assistive devices and technology that can enhance independence and participation. They assess the need for and provide recommendations on adaptive equipment, assistive devices, and environmental modifications to facilitate engagement in activities.

Pediatric Occupational Therapy: Within the Occupational Therapy service line, there is a specialization in pediatric occupational therapy. Pediatric occupational therapists work with children to support their development, address sensory and motor challenges, improve school performance, and enhance engagement in play and social interactions.

The Occupational Therapy service line aims to help individuals achieve maximum independence, improve their quality of life, and enhance their ability to participate in activities that are meaningful to them. Occupational therapists provide individualized interventions, strategies, and support to optimize daily functioning and promote overall well-being.
