Occupational Therapist

Occupational therapists (OTs) are skilled professionals who have studied the social, emotional and physiological effects of illness and injury. An OT helps individuals learn—or relearn—the day-to-day activities they need for maximum independence. OTs offer treatment programs to help with bathing, dressing, preparing a meal, house cleaning, engaging in arts and crafts or gardening. They recommend and train people in the use of adaptive equipment to replace lost function. OTs also evaluate home and job environments and recommend adaptations. The occupational therapist guides family members and caregivers in safe and effective methods of home care; he or she will also facilitate contact with the community outside of the hospital.
