Scope of Practice for Occupational Therapy - Services are INDIRECT. We will be modeling and training directly with caregivers, to best support the individual, while providing various supports to enhance the individual’s independence in the areas targeted.
Occupational therapy refers to the therapeutic use of everyday activities (aka occupations) in
order to maximize independence, safety and quality of life for individuals with a broad range of
challenges. An occupational therapist can evaluate and analyze how physical, social,
environmental, spiritual, and cognitive factors affect an individual’s ability to engage in the
things that they need and want to do. From that point, the therapist will tailor a support plan
that is unique to the needs and challenges of that particular individual. Training will be provided
to an individual’s caregivers so they can best support that person in achieving their goals.
Occupational therapy can help with all of the factors listed below, and more.
