Occupational Therapy
The goal of occupational therapy is to facilitate the patient’s optimal level of function in all activities of daily living, including:
- Self-care
- Feeding
- Home and community living skills
- Leisure activities
- Pre-vocation education
The primary objective is to improving all performance components of activities of daily living. This includes neuromuscular, oral motor and feeding, sensory, sensorimotor, cognitive, psychosocial and therapeutic adaptations.
We provide consultation and education, regarding splints, self-care, educational needs, positioning and assistive equipment, range of motion and more.
