Therapy Strategies That Drive Progress

Occupational Therapists will thoroughly assess and evaluate the client’s health and basic skills, assist in the planning and implementation of programs, promote energy conservation measures, and provide measures for normalizing the patients’ sensory functions and basic living skills so they can once again function in society and the workplace in whatever capacity they have.

Our team specializes in therapy support services in Miami Gardens, Florida, to ensure comprehensive care tailored to each individual’s needs. Occupational therapy uses an approach that utilizes the activities of daily living to rehabilitate occupational skills lost due to injury or long-term facility confinement. A skills evaluation is done to initiate the service in order to create a custom therapy plan that would reflect the level of rehabilitation needed. Once identified, we will roll out the process in a manner that would gradually reintroduce the skills to the individual.

How Occupational Therapy Helps at Home
