Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy is an evidence-based practice that helps people across the lifespan to do the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities. Occupational therapy practitioners enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability. Our Occupational Therapy program is provided in home and community settings and strives to restore independence and purpose in the individuals we work with.
