The 2018 theme is “Empowering Independence” for clients in a wide range of settings, in which skilled Occupational Therapy services might be provided.
Occupational Therapy involves the use of treatments to develop, recover, or maintain the daily living and work skills of individuals with a physical, mental or developmental condition. Therapy interventions focus on adapting the environment, modifying tasks, teaching a skill, and educating the client and family to increase participation in performance of daily activities, specifically those that are meaningful to the client.
Skilled Occupational Therapy might be appropriate following an injury, illness or surgery. Occupational Therapy is available in the inpatient hospital setting, inpatient rehab unit, skilled nursing facilities or in an outpatient setting. Occupational Therapists at MCCH also work with children to overcome developmental delays and adults following head injuries or surgery.
Regardless of the treatment setting, client’s age, or illness; the goal of Occupational Therapy is to “Empower Independence” for the client.
