What is Occupational Therapy?

The FUN(ctional) therapy of course! Occupational Therapists approach rehab with a client-centered approach, often asking, “what is important to you?” OTs are known for utilizing games and crafts to build physical and cognitive skills for independence with daily activities. What’s better than doing the work without knowing you’re doing the work?!

During April, SMC celebrates the life-changing work of our Occupational Therapists. Whether it’s teaching foundational life skills to children or restoring crucial daily tasks, they bring passion and creativity to every patient. Thank you for making a lasting impact on our community!
