Occupational Therapy
*

Occupational therapy is skilled treatment that helps individuals with functional deficits achieve independence in all facets of their lives. It gives people, of all ages, the skills necessary to help them perform their daily activities. Services typically include:

  • Customized treatment programs to improve one's ability to perform daily activities
  • Comprehensive home evaluations with adaptation recommendations
  • Performance skills assessments and treatment
  • Adaptive equipment recommendations and usage training
  • Guidance to family members and caregivers
  • Specialized hand therapy and splinting

About Occupational Therapy Practitioners:

Occupational therapy practitioners are skilled professionals whose education includes the study of human growth and development with specific emphasis on the social, emotional, and physiological effects of illness and injury. They complete 6 months of supervised clinical internships in various healthcare settings and have passed a national certification examination. Our occupational therapists have entered the field with a bachelor's degree, are registered through the National Board of Certification for Occupational Therapy, and are licensed in the state of Missouri.
