What is Occupational Therapy or OT?

Occupational Therapy (OT) focuses on the acquisition of basic, self-help skills required for daily living. Occupational Therapists are certified to use a variety of methods, which are designed to integrate the use of cognitive processing, sensory processing, and/or motor skills in the performance of basic tasks. Examples of OT goals for clients may include: learning to tie shoes, improving handwriting, self-grooming, self-dressing, self-feeding, independent use of the toilet, learning to give oneself appropriate sensory input, and other similar skills.
