What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is centered around helping people participate in the everyday activities that are meaningful and important to them. It promotes independence through function by helping individuals develop, recover, improve, and maintain the skills needed for daily living, work, and participation in the activities they value most.

​

Occupational therapy supports individuals of all ages who may be experiencing challenges related to injury, illness, disability, developmental conditions, or life changes. Through individualized treatment, therapeutic activities, education, and adaptive strategies, occupational therapy helps people overcome barriers, improve safety, and maximize independence in their daily lives.
