When someone experiences a catastrophic injury, the road to recovery can be long and challenging. These injuries can include serious harm from car accidents or other traumatic injuries. One crucial component of the rehabilitation process is occupational therapy (OT). If you have suffered a catastrophic injury and are interested in learning about rehabilitation options, discuss with your injury attorney whether OT is right for you.
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is a branch of healthcare that focuses on helping people regain or improve the ability to perform daily activities, or “occupations,” which can range from self-care tasks like dressing and bathing to engaging in work and leisure activities. Occupational therapists are trained professionals who assess a person’s needs and create personalized plans to address physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges.
