Overcoming barriers through occupational therapy
Therapy where you need it
Occupational therapy is a very practical, hands-on form of therapy where you learn by doing.
Occupational therapists like to get out and about with you. If one of your goals is to improve your ability to cook healthy food, for example, we’ll help you choose recipes and make a shopping list, and then we’ll come to the store with you. After that, we’ll come to your kitchen and help you prepare ingredients and make a meal.
