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
People of all ages and various conditions can benefit from occupational therapy.
Some of the conditions commonly treated with occupational therapy include:
Birth injuries or birth defects
Sensory processing disorders
Autism
Learning problems
Broken bones or orthopedic injuries
Severe hand injuries
Traumatic brain injuries or injuries to the spinal cord
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
