What Does an Occupational Therapist Do?

Your OT will first go over your medical history and watch you perform certain tasks to evaluate your needs. They’ll also come to your home, school, and workplace to see what changes might improve your accessibility and safety.

Then, the OT will work with you to come up with a therapy plan and set goals based on your needs, abilities, and limits.

The therapist will teach you new ways to do daily tasks like getting dressed, eating, showering, and working. OTs can also recommend special equipment and assistive devices like a raised toilet seat, leg brace, or wheelchair and show you how to use those tools.

OTs can also help in other ways. For example, they may:

Move furniture to make your space easier to navigate and prevent falls
Educate your family about how to help care for you
Show you exercises to relieve aches and pains
Organize your medications
Address behavior problems in kids
