๐ณ Functional Friday in OT! ๐ณ
Todayโs session focused on adaptive one-sided techniques during meal preparation, helping our patient effectively use her unaffected side for problem solving and task completion while performing cooking tasks. Our patient also used adaptive equipment such as a pot stabilizer to ensure safety while cooking. From stabilizing items to modifying movements, we worked on strategies that support independence, safety awareness, and confidence while addressing functional skills in the kitchen. Everyday activities like cooking become powerful therapy tools when we practice real-life skills that matter most!
