SERVICE HIGHLIGHTS:
Occupational Therapy Services
Occupational therapy enables people to lead productive, independent and satisfying lives by assisting them to set goals with self-care, (e.g. dressing, eating and shopping), household management, as well as activities that allow them to work or enjoy free time. During an assessment, the occupational therapist identifies which activities are difficult and why by checking physical abilities (strength, coordination, balance), mental abilities (memory, organization, coping), level of support available, and environmental barriers (at home, school, workplace or community). Intervention may then involve learning new ways of doing things, using adaptive equipment and devices, making changes to the environment, or exploring new interests and developing new skills.
