What does occupational therapy involve?

Each individual is unique and has their own unique strengths and their own unique needs. Occupational therapists are skilled and trained to identify and build upon these strengths as well as address barriers and difficulties in order to improve ease for completion of daily tasks to increase independence and help everyone reach their goals in their everyday wants and needs. Occupational therapy uses a personally tailored, client-centered, and strengths-based approach to help achieve those goals.
