They may assess functional abilities, fine motor skills, sensory processing, cognitive skills, and/or emotional well-being. Based on the assessment findings, the therapist develops a personalized treatment plan and engages the client in therapeutic activities, exercises, interventions, and education to address specific goals and improve overall function.

  • The duration of occupational therapy varies depending on the individual's needs, goals, and progress.
