Occupational Therapy at Saint Joseph Hospital
Occupational therapy is skilled treatment that helps individuals achieve independence in all facets of their lives. It assists people in developing the "skills for the job of living" necessary for independent and satisfying lives.
Occupational therapists ask "Why does this person have difficulties managing his or her daily activities (or occupations)? What can we adapt to make it possible for him or her to manage better and how will this then impact his or her health and well-being?"
