The short answer, before the detail below.
Occupational therapy interventions concentrate on adapting to the environment, revising the task, and teaching the skill, so as to upsurge participation in and performance of everyday activities, predominantly those that are meaningful to the patient with physical, mental, or cognitive maladies. Our occupational therapists also focus much of their work on detecting and eradicating environmental barriers to independence and participation in day-to-day activities akin to everyday life.
