Installing Independence: Occupational Therapy at Osraty

At Osraty, we understand that everyday activities are the foundation of a meaningful life. Our dedicated team of occupational therapists (OTs) is passionate about helping individuals of all ages overcome challenges and regain independence through personalized occupational therapy treatment.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy, often abbreviated as OT, is a healthcare profession focused on helping people participate in the activities and routines of daily life (occupations) that are meaningful to them. OTs work with individuals experiencing physical, sensory, cognitive, or emotional limitations due to illness, injury, developmental delay, or aging. By embracing a comprehensive method, Occupational Therapy endeavors to:

Improve a person’s ability to perform daily activities: This includes tasks such as dressing, bathing, eating, grooming, and self-care.
Enhance participation in meaningful occupations: Work, school, hobbies, leisure activities, and social interaction.
Promote independence and self-sufficiency: Occupational therapy empowers individuals to manage their care and live fully.
Adapt the environment: Sometimes, modifications to the home, workplace, or school can significantly improve a person’s ability to participate in daily activities.
Develop coping strategies: Occupational therapists can instruct individuals on handling pain, sensory sensitivities, or cognitive difficulties.

Who Can Benefit from Occupational Therapy?

OT therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of individuals, including:

Children with developmental delays: This may encompass conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) including Asperger’s Syndrome, Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Down syndrome.
Adults with physical limitations: This could include individuals recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, amputation, arthritis, or other musculoskeletal conditions.
Adults with neurological conditions: This could include individuals with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or Alzheimer’s disease.
People with mental health conditions: This could include individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Older adults: Occupational therapists can help seniors maintain independence and safety in their homes as they age.

When you visit Osraty for Occupational therapy, our team will take the time to understand your unique needs and goals. Your initial evaluation will typically involve:

Based on your evaluation, your occupational therapists will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals. Your plan may include:

Activity analysis and adaptation: Breaking down daily activities into smaller steps and identifying strategies or tools to make them more accessible.
Adaptive equipment training: Learning to use assistive devices such as walkers, braces, or dressing aids.
Sensory integration activities: Activities designed to help individuals manage sensory sensitivities and improve their ability to process sensory information.
