What is occupational therapy, and how can it help my child who sustained a traumatic brain injury one month ago as the result of a car accident?
Occupational therapy is an individualized therapy that will
work with your child at their present level of ability and
help your son or daughter master or re-master skills that
are necessary for daily living (eating, grooming, etc.).
This may require your child to learn new skills to complete
familiar tasks in a different way. Occupational therapy uses
therapeutic methods, assistive technology and environmental
modifications to help individuals achieve their highest
level of independence.
