What Is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy (OT) is a holistic rehabilitation service focused on improving a person’s ability to perform the daily tasks they need and want to do. It addresses physical, cognitive, sensory, and motor skills to promote independence and participation in day-to-day life.

• Sensory integration (managing sensory overload or seeking behavior)

• Visual-motor and perceptual skills

• Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) like dressing, grooming, eating

• Hand-eye coordination

• Self-regulation and behavioral control

Our therapy sessions are customized to individual goals, helping clients achieve greater function, confidence, and independence.
