Adults

Occupational therapists (OTs) play an important role in helping adults navigate through various life challenges and enhance their overall quality of life. Here are some key areas where OTs provide support:

1. Rehabilitation After Injury or Illness:
Occupational therapists assist individuals recovering from strokes, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), or other severe injuries. They focus on improving physical and cognitive functions, teaching new ways to perform daily activities, and promoting independence.

2. Managing Chronic Conditions:
For adults with chronic conditions like arthritis, Parkinson's disease, or multiple sclerosis, OTs develop strategies to manage symptoms, reduce pain, and improve daily functioning. They may also recommend adaptive equipment to make activities easier and safer.

3. Aging in Place:
OTs assist older adults in maintaining their independence and safety at home. This may involve home modifications, fall prevention strategies, and exercises to improve strength and balance. The goal is to enable older adults to age comfortably in their own homes.

4. Workplace Interventions:
In a work setting, OTs help individuals overcome physical and cognitive barriers to job performance. They may provide ergonomic assessments, recommend modifications to the workspace, and develop strategies to enhance productivity and reduce workplace injuries.

5. Life Skills Training:
For adults with developmental disabilities or those transitioning from institutional care, OTs provide life skills training. This includes teaching basic self-care, cooking, managing finances, and other daily activities that foster independence.

7. Post-Surgical Recovery:
After surgery, such as joint replacements or hand surgeries, OTs guide rehabilitation to restore function, improve mobility, and ensure a smooth transition back to daily activities.
