Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is a health and rehabilitation profession. Occupational therapists and their assistants work with people of all ages who, because of physical, developmental, social, or emotional problems, need specialized assistance to lead independent, productive, and satisfying lives.

Occupational therapy can help with:

Infants and children

• cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy
• developmental disabilities, including mental retardation, spina bifida, and congenital anomalies

Adolescents and young adults

• neurological deficits resulting from traumatic injuries to the head and spinal cord
• orthopedic disabilities resulting from accident or disease
• neurological, emotional and learning deficits

Adults

• work injuries, including amputation, hand trauma, and burns
• neurological dysfunction, including brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathy

Older Adults

• physical functioning as a result of arthritis, accident, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and Parkinson's disease

Occupational therapy is cost-effective.  Prompt and appropriate treatment can often:

• promote early return to employment
• reduce the amount of care and services required after discharge
