Overview

Occupational therapists (OTs) help people learn or regain daily living or work skills. 真人线上娱乐y help people who have mental, physical, or developmental disabilities. 真人线上娱乐se disabilities are often caused by birth defects, injuries, illnesses, or aging.

Occupational therapists write treatment plans that set specific goals for patients. 真人线上娱乐y discuss their plans with other workers such as doctors, physical therapists, or social workers. 真人线上娱乐y also train nurses and other health care staff in therapy techniques so they can help with the therapy.

真人线上娱乐rapists conduct many different activities with their patients. Some activities are designed to improve physical strength and coordination. Other activities are designed to improve vision, memory, or reasoning. 真人线上娱乐y teach some patients to use wheelchairs and other physical aids. 真人线上娱乐rapists may also design or make special equipment that patients need at work or home and recommend ways for patients to change their homes to meet their needs.

真人线上娱乐rapists may specialize in working with patients of a certain age or specific disability. This includes:

• Elderly patients who want to live independently
• Children with developmental delays
• Adults with permanent disabilities

Some therapists help patients find and keep jobs. 真人线上娱乐y arrange jobs, plan work activities, and follow patients’ progress. Occupational therapists often lead programs in schools, hospitals, community settings, and other institutions. Often these programs are designed to promote health and awareness of disabilities.
