Occupational Therapists specialize in treatments
that enable patients to perform the general activities of daily
living (ADL's) such as bathing, eating, dressing and basic household
routines. Generally individuals who have physical, developmental
and/or social problems might need the skills of an Occupational
Therapist. Occupational therapy is delivered in accordance with
physician's orders and as defined in a plan of care.
