Living with physical, developmental or cognitive impairments is difficult. LVHN occupational therapists help develop a plan to manage your condition, allowing you to achieve the highest level of function. 

Learning to live with certain challenges, like physical impairments or developmental delays, isn’t easy. Our certified occupational therapists help you achieve as much independence as possible.

They design an individual treatment plan tailored to your unique needs to achieve your goals.

The right occupational therapy plan for you

Your treatment plan will reflect your personal goals and abilities. Your LVHN occupational therapy team develops your therapy to meet your capabilities. They help you develop your skill set so you can achieve greater independence.

Depending on your personal needs, your therapy sessions may focus on:

  • Activities of daily living (such as eating, bathing, dressing, cooking)
  • Strengthening
  • Range of motion
  • Endurance

We also help improve communication and cognitive skills by developing your ability to read, write and make telephone calls.

Making your home work for you

If necessary, LVHN occupational therapists make suggestions for changes to the layout of your home or workplace to help you remain self-sufficient.
