Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy is a holistic approach to rehabilitation. It is therapy based on performing the meaningful activities of daily life (self care skills, eduction, work or social interaction and for children it is play), especially to enable or enhance participation in such activities despite impairments or limitations in physical or mental functioning. *Occupational Therapy is for people of all ages-to improve skills that help them perform daily tasks at home and at school, at work and at play.
*(Eleventh Edition of Miriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 2003, as developed with the American Occupational Therapy Association.)
In the outpatient setting we treat patients of all ages with orthopedic injuries to the upper extremities, neurological impairments, children with developmental delays and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Occupational Therapy works in the Skilled Nursing Facility to rehabilitate patients so they can return to their highest level of function - that possibly includes returning to the home environment. We work in Home Health to help patients to learn to be as independent and as safe as possible in their home environment and in the inpatient setting to begin with basic strengthening, adaptive equipment and ADL retraining to prepare them for the next step of the rehabilitative process. We work alongside Physical Therapist, Speech/Language Pathologists, nursing staff, Social Services department and the discharge planner in a collaborative effort to provide or patients with well rounded therapeutic intervention developed specifically to fit the individual needs of each patient.
