OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY:

What is OT?

Occupational therapy is an allied health profession which focuses on activities of daily living, such as getting dressed or preparing meals, and helps individuals of any age and with any disability to help them to be as independent and safe as possible.

Jacobs Inventory of Functional Skills

This non-standardized evaluation tool was designed with the adult developmentally disabled population in mind. It covers all functional skills, can be customized, and also looks at the underlying sensory-neuro- motor skills. Because of the comprehensive level of skills included, this tool has been valuable to schools for transition planning to adult programs and other debilitating diagnoses, such as stroke, to monitor change.

Sensory Integration

Absolutely everything we do is based on how our senses detect, our brain interprets and our muscles respond to our environment. If there is a problem, the result can be frustrating and exhausting to the child and family.

IT IS REALLY HAPPENING!
