Occupational Therapy For More Independence
Turn “I can’t” into “Of course!” and build belief.
Break barriers and engage with life.
Many adults with occupational limitations are thought of as disengaged. Establishing building blocks based on a person’s abilities sets them up for a renewed confidence and greater self-worth. Friendship Community Care’s occupational therapy services help individuals from early adulthood to seniors develop skills for daily interaction and self-care.
What To Expect From An Occupational Therapy Session
A therapist will take a developmental approach to work on areas of physical ability including fine and gross motor skills, visual motor skills, sensory processing, handwriting, and self-help. An initial assessment will establish the goals for future sessions based on current abilities and desired goals. Each session will provide life-changing benefits:
- Engage in motor skill activities that translate into everyday interactions.
- Learn new skills such as using a computer or equipment desirable for a job.
- Understand social interactions and learn appropriate communication skills.
- Develop autonomy in daily routines for improved independence and self-care.
- Identify physical/learning barriers to create new techniques to increase independence during activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).
Occupational therapy removes any number of limitations to give an individual a boost in confidence and greater feeling of accomplishment.
Experience true community integration.
Friendship Community Care aims to empower adults to join their community and share their strengths rather than feel excluded due to their disability. Through skills development, supportive employment, and supportive living, individuals can rise above limitations and succeed as contributing members of their community.
