What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is a client-centered health profession concerned with promoting health and well-being through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. Occupational therapists achieve this outcome by working with people to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want to, need to, or are expected to do, or by modifying the occupation or the environment to better support their occupational engagement.

How Do Virtual Occupational Therapy Sessions Work?
Virtual occupational therapy sessions are conducted via secure video conferencing platforms. During a session, the therapist will assess your needs through discussions and by observing your activities within your environment. They will guide you through tailored exercises and provide strategies to overcome challenges in performing daily tasks. They may also recommend modifications to your home or tools that can assist you in daily activities.
Choosing the Right Virtual Occupational Therapist
When selecting a virtual occupational therapist, it's important to ensure they are licensed and have the necessary credentials. Consider their specialization areas, such as pediatrics, geriatrics, or neurological rehabilitation, to find a therapist who matches your specific needs. Reviews from other patients can also provide insight into their practice and effectiveness.
