Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language

Occupational therapy focuses on what matters to the client compared to what the condition is. An occupational therapist helps people to do the things they want and need to do in their everyday lives. This involves a focus on adapting, modifying, or changing daily activities. The holistic approach of an occupational therapist adapts a person’s environment to fit their capabilities. This may include an evaluation of the person’s environment at home or work. Treatment will include improving gross and fine motor skills through balance and coordination to improve quality of life.

An occupational therapist focuses on the skills it takes to perform daily tasks at home, work, or other environments. Treatment begins with a thorough evaluation where the client determines their goals. The therapist will develop a treatment plan to improve the person’s ability to perform the activities to reach their goals. An outcome evaluation will be done to ensure the goals have been met or to determine if adjustments in the treatment plan need to be made to meet the goals.
