Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps patients develop the skills to care for him or herself and deals with fine motor skills such as writing, opening cans, handling cooking utensils or operating machines.
Rehabilitation Hospital's certified occupational therapists provide a range of services, including:

Techniques to conserve energy and simplify work
At Rehabilitation Hospital, our occupational therapists work closely with patients and family members in developing a care plan to ensure each patient's unique needs are being met, and that caregivers are well prepared to support patients in their recovery. Therapists also work with community organizations and outreach programs to help coordinate appropriate care plans whenever necessary.
