Occupational therapy provides an overall plan to help you achieve a maximum level of independent living. It helps you perform your daily activities more comfortably and efficiently. You may need occupational therapy if an illness or injury has disrupted your ability to care for personal needs or participate in work, school, family or community life. Treatment may focus on ways to adapt or the use of equipment to help you maintain optimal safety and independence.
