Occupational Therapy for Teenagers and Adults
An occupational is anything a person wants or needs to do in their daily life. For children their main occupations involve:
School/Work
Daily living skills
Life Skills
Leisure
Social Participation
Occupational therapy can be helpful for a teenager or adult who is having difficulty with any or all of the above occupations.
A licensed occupational therapist can look into the “why” behind the difficulty. For many of the underlying concerns include:
fine motor skills
motor planning
sensory processing
visual perceptual skills
oculomotor skills
executive functioning
Occupational therapy is a whole body approach, meaning we look at the individuality of each person and the big picture of their lives. By treating a person in their natural environment, we can allow for the more individualized, best quality care out there!
