Occupational therapy

Occupational therapy (OT)   focuses on helping individuals of all ages improve their ability to perform daily activities, or “occupations,” that are meaningful and necessary for their overall well-being and independence. Occupational therapists work with people who may have physical, cognitive, sensory, or emotional challenges that affect their ability to engage in everyday tasks.
Here’s an overview of what occupational therapy involves:

• Physical Rehabilitation: Helping children regain mobility, strength, and coordination after an injury or surgery.
• Sensory Integration Therapy: Addressing sensory processing disorders by helping children process and respond to sensory information more effectively.
• Cognitive Rehabilitation: Assisting individuals with cognitive impairments (e.g., memory, problem-solving) to regain or improve cognitive function.
• Adaptive Techniques: Teaching individuals how to use adaptive devices and techniques to overcome physical or cognitive challenges.
• Home and Environmental Modifications: Recommending changes to the home or workplace to make it more accessible and safe for individuals with disabilities.
• Pediatric OT: Working with children to help them develop the fine motor skills, sensory processing, and self-care abilities necessary for school and daily life.
