Occupational therapy is using meaningful, graded activities to help a person reclaim something they feel is missing or lacking in their lives. Occupational therapy helps a person reclaim independence through daily living skills, social interaction and meaningful occupation--making them feel whole once again.
Occupational therapy is allowing people to have their cake, make their cake and eat it too!
“Occupational therapy helps people return to doing activities that make up their life. Occupational therapists are experts at breaking down tasks and understanding how to change the task in order to allow a person to complete that task with the skills and abilities they have.”
Bridget Fyle, OTS from St. Catherine’s University
