Occupational therapy is a science-driven, evidence-based profession that enables people of all ages to participate in daily living or live better with injury, illness, or disability. This is accomplished through designing strategies for everyday living and customizing environments to develop and maximize potential.
By taking the full picture into account—a person’s psychological, physical, emotional, and social make-up—occupational therapy assists people in:
- Achieving their goals.
- Functioning at the highest possible level.
- Concentrating on what matters most to them.
- Maintaining or rebuilding their independence.
- Participating in daily activities that they need to do or that simply make life worth living.
Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants are experts in helping people perform the activities they need and want to do every day.
The occupational therapy practitioners at Cooper, part of Rehabilitation Services, work with patients in the hospital as well as patients in our outpatient rehabilitation offices. To schedule an appointment, or refer a patient, please call 800.8.COOPER (800.826.6737).
