Why Is Occupational Therapy Important?
Occupational therapy (OT) is a branch of healthcare that helps people of all ages regain independence in their lives. Occupational therapists use everyday activities, exercises, and other therapies to help people address barriers that affect their emotional, social, and physical needs.
Occupational therapists use customized treatment plans that help patients:
- Develop fine motor skills so they can grasp and release objects with their hands or develop good handwriting or computer skills
- Improve hand-eye coordination
- Master basic life skills such as bathing, dressing, brushing teeth and feeding themselves at mealtime
- Learn positive behaviors and social skills related to how they manage anger and frustration
- Obtain assistive devices and medical equipment (wheelchairs, bathing equipment, communication aids, etc) that can help them perform daily tasks and improve mobility

- Birth injuries or birth defects
