Occupational therapists help people of all ages participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Unlike other professions, occupational therapy helps people function in all of their environments (e.g., home, work, school, community) and addresses the physical, psychological, and cognitive aspects of their well-being through engagement in occupation.
Occupational therapy services typically include:
• an individualized evaluation, during which the client, family, and occupational therapist determine the person’s goals,
• customized intervention to improve the person’s ability to perform dailyactivities and reach the goals, and
• an outcomes evaluation to ensure that the goals are being met and/or to modify the intervention plan based on the patient’s needs and skills.
