Occupational Therapy Services

Occupational Therapy is a health and rehabilitation profession that helps individuals achieve independence in all facets of their lives.

Occupational Therapists help people of all ages from birth through the elderly to regain, develop, and learn skills that may have been lost due to illness, physical disability, injury, developmental or psychological impairment.

Occupational Therapists evaluate, treat, consult, and assess gross & fine motor coordination, range of motion, strength, hand manipulation & dexterity, balance and postural control, motor planning, sensory registration & processing, attention span, daily living skills, developmental milestones, safety awareness, memory skills, muscle tone & strength, edema, seating and positioning, visual motor coordination, and architectural & environmental barriers.

Our goal is to help the person achieve independence in whatever "occupies" their day.

Teaching daily living skills

Motor, cognitive, perceptual, visual, & sensory evaluation & treatment

Facilitation of normal development

Fabrication of splints and adaptive equipment

Teaching energy conservation & work simplification techniques

Modifying the work environment to prevent work related disabilities
