Questions
How is this different from physical therapy?
Physical therapy focuses on strength, balance, and movement. Occupational therapy focuses on using those abilities in daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and cooking. Many people use both.
Can occupational therapy happen at home?
Yes. Your own kitchen and bathroom are often the best places to practice. You can choose a home visit when you schedule.
