Occupational Therapy
ABOUT US
Occupational Therapy is skilled treatment that assists individuals to achieve independence in all facets of their lives.
Occupational Therapy not only treats the medical condition, it helps clients to remain engaged in the activities that give them pleasure or a sense of purpose, despite 
challenges they face.
Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants focus on whatever occupations or activities are meaningful to the individual. Occupational Therapy can help restore the client’s ability to perform day-to-day tasks; including bathing, grooming, dressing, eating, and home preparation such as laundry and cooking.
