What is Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy supports individuals to be able to do the things they want and/or need to do in their daily lives. We are whole-heartedly concerned with day-to-day function. Occupational Therapy considers the many influencing factors in a person’s life that might be creating supports, as well as barriers, to their everyday function. Example of such includes motor skills, social development, executive functions, communication and comprehension, environmental/contextual considerations, etc.
