OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

 

Occupational therapists (OT’s) provide instruction in environmental organization, energy

conservation techniques and upper body strengthening in order to assist patient’s return

to their maximum level of activity for daily living.

OT’s may recommend adaptive equipment to make activities such as dressing and bathing less

strenuous and frustrating.  An occupational therapist may also show a patient or a

family member how to use memory aids and strategies to combat forgetfulness

through cognitive rehabilitation.
