Overview
Whether it’s redesigning a play area for a child in a wheelchair, planning holiday shopping strategies for an adult with heart and breathing problems, or modifying job tasks so a returning veteran with a traumatic brain injury can return to work…Occupational Therapists (OT’s) make a difference in people’s lives.
Guided by a belief in the power of being physically, mentally, spiritually and socially active, OT’s assist people who are at risk for medical/psychological problems to prevent injury or health conditions by leading healthy and productive lives
