Occupational Therapy Overview

1. Assessment and Evaluation:

• Conduct thorough assessments of the patient’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and social abilities.

• Evaluate the patient’s ability to perform daily tasks (e.g., dressing, cooking, cleaning, etc.).

• Assess the home and workplace environment to identify any barriers to independence.

• Identify any underlying conditions or challenges affecting the patient's functioning.

2. Developing Treatment Plans:

• Create individualized treatment plans based on the assessment, outlining goals and interventions.

• Set short-term and long-term goals with measurable outcomes.

• Collaborate with the patient and their family to ensure that the treatment plan aligns with their preferences and needs.

• Reassess and adjust treatment plans as the patient progresses.
