    Occupational Therapy (OT) gives people the “skills for the job of living” necessary for living meaningful and satisfying lives. TuDor’s occupational therapists focus on making independence a reality. 

    What Is Occupational Therapy?

    Occupational therapy is the only profession that helps people across the lifespan to do the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities (occupations). Occupational therapy practitioners enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability. 

    Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes.

    Examples of the OT patient population include:

    • Autism
    • Cerebral Palsy

    • Parkinson’s Disease
    • Multiple Sclerosis
    • Spinal Cord Injuries
