DID YOU KNOW?
An Occupational Therapist is uniquely trained to evaluate and treat the many factors that determine a person's ability to function in everyday life, including:
• Physical strength, endurance and mobility
• Cognitive functioning
• Mental and behavioral health and its impact on daily functioning
• Attention, memory and executive functioning
• Fine and gross motor skills
• Coordination and dexterity
• Activities of daily living
• Work capacity and work performance
• Functional effects of pain and fatigue
• Neurological and musculoskeletal limitations
• Sensory and perceptual functioning
• Environmental barriers and accommodations
• Safety, independence and community functioning
• Quality of life and the balance of work, rest and play
• The ability to perform tasks reliably and sustainably over time
That's what makes occupational therapy particularly valuable in personal injury and disability cases.
While other professionals may appropriately focus on their particular area of expertise, Occupational Therapists are trained to step back and look at the big picture—how physical, cognitive, psychological, environmental and social factors interact to affect the whole person.
We don't just ask whether someone can lift, walk, remember, concentrate, or complete a task.
We ask:
How do all of these pieces come together to affect this person's ability to work, care for themselves, participate in life, and maintain a healthy balance of work, rest and play?
Because ultimately, function isn't one little slice of a person's life.
It's the whole picture.
