EBOOK: YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Get the most from your occupational therapy to achieve the best results. Learn who can benefit from OT, what to expect, and how to select a provider.

Coping with the impact of long-term illness or sudden injury is a fact of life for many Americans. For these patients, occupational therapy can be key to reclaiming hope and enjoying the highest quality of life possible. Occupational therapists are trained to help you perform day-to-day self-care, regain cognitive functions and return to work.  

If you or your loved one is embarking on a long-term recovery, make sure you understand the benefits available through occupational therapy to get the best possible outcome for your treatment. 

A little bit of planning goes a long way. That’s because realizing your occupational goals starts with effectively engaging with your occupational therapy team. To be ready for occupational therapy, it helps to know what to expect from the process—including the kinds of goals and activities that are often included in therapy.
