Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy (OT) involves the use of assessment and intervention to develop, recover, or maintain the meaningful activities, or occupations, of patients. Occupational therapists evaluate and treat patients of all ages with disabilities, injuries, or impairments. They coordinate skilled treatment plans and goals with the patient, physicians, families, caregivers, and other professionals to obtain maximum benefit from the therapy services provided. Using a wide variety of exercises, treatments and purposeful activities, the goal is to enable the patient to assume or resume the highest quality of functional living as possible.
