About Occupational therapy

Occupational therapy is a treatment of people with physical, emotional, or social problems, using purposeful activity which restores, reinforces, and enhances the abilities. Occupational therapy helps patients to recover or develop their skills needed for the activities of daily living, including self-care, leisure, independent living and work. Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities, providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes, helping people recovering from injury to regain their skills.
