Occupational Therapy
Kaiser Rehabilitation Center’s occupational therapists (OT) plan individualized programs that use purposeful activity to help the person overcome and/or adapt to their functional limitations, allowing them the highest level of independence possible.
The OT treatment plan would likely address the skills of self-feeding, dressing, grooming, bathing, toileting, meal preparation, laundry and grocery shopping. Progress in these skills may require training in the areas of motor coordination and strengthening, cognitive and perceptual retraining, memory, problem solving, organization and visual perception activities. The occupational therapist may also recommend adaptive equipment and devices to assist the patient in meeting rehabilitation goals.
