What is "occupational therapy"?
Occupational therapy is a type of medical treatment that helps people of all ages to perform the activities they want and need to do using everyday activities to promote healing. Occupational therapists work with individuals who have physical, developmental, or emotional challenges that affect their ability to perform daily tasks. They help patients improve their movement skills, mental abilities, and social skills through personalized treatment plans. This therapy aims to improve independence and quality of life by adjusting the patient's environment, changing tasks, and providing specialized equipment to support individuals in achieving their goals.
