Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists help a patient with physical, developmental, social or emotional disabilities relearn how to perform such daily functions as eating, bathing, and dressing. Occupational Therapy is provided at convenient locations across the metro area. For more information or a referral, please click on one of the locations listed to the right.
Occupational therapists take into account the psychological, physical, emotional, and social circumstances that help people achieve the highest possible level of function. The therapy staff effectively uses tasks to reinforce or rebuild independence to perform skills of daily living. Life skills include, but are not limited to self-care, homemaking, vocational or work skills.
