Occupational Therapy

Hope Speaks occupational therapists improve your ability to perform daily tasks.

Regain Independence

Occupational therapy (OT) is a client-centered profession that recognizes the importance of meaningful activities in promoting health and well-being. By addressing the physical, cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors that influence daily functioning, occupational therapists empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives and participate actively in their communities.

Holistic Assessment

Client-Centered Approach

Our Occupational Therapists conduct thorough assessments to understand a person's strengths, challenges, and specific goals. The emphasis is on tailoring interventions to the individual's unique needs and aspirations.

Environmental Considerations

Assessments also take into account the person's living and working environments, identifying factors that may facilitate or hinder their ability to engage in daily activities.

Co-Treatment

Our OT often works hand in hand with our Speech and Physical Therapists to design specialized holistic treatment plans to maximize your therapy.

Intervention Strategies

Activity Modification: Occupational therapists assist individuals in adapting activities to their abilities, making necessary modifications to promote independence. This could involve changes to the environment or the way tasks are performed.

Skill Development: OT interventions often include activities aimed at improving fine and gross motor skills, coordination, cognitive abilities, and sensory processing.
