How Occupational Therapists treat patients
Occupational Therapists assess and treat patients with physical, mental or cognitive disorders to develop, recover or maintain self-care and community living skills. This includes helping patients achieve functional independence, adapt their environments, modify a task or learn new skills.
They also assist with:
-
Concussion management
-
Functional capacity evaluations for people needing cognitive assessments
-
Daily living difficulties related to cognitive challenges.
-
Assessments (cognition, function)
-
Education and adaptive strategies (including aids)
