    Occupational therapy (OT) is skilled treatment that helps individuals achieve independence in all facets of their lives. OT gives people the "skills for the job of living" necessary for independent and satisfying lives. Services typically include:

    Customized treatment programs to improve one's ability to perform daily activities

    Comprehensive home and job site evaluations with adaptation recommendations

    Performance skills assessments and treatment

    Adaptive equipment recommendations and usage training

    Guidance to family members and caregivers
