Occupational Therapy is a dynamic allied health profession that provides specialized assistance to help people learn or regain skills needed to lead productive and satisfying lives. Through therapeutic intervention, occupational therapy maximizes independence for individuals of all ages who have physical, emotional, social or developmental disabilities. |
