North Country Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy focuses on enabling people to participate in meaningful and purposeful activities of daily life. An individual’s “occupation” is an activity that “occupies his or her time.” For example, a child in grade school has the occupation of learning. An adult may need to learn how to write after a traumatic injury. And a senior may want to continue driving safely in order to stay active in the community. All of these daily life activities are “occupations” and participating in them is vital to maintain overall health and wellness.”
