Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy (OT) focuses on helping individuals of all ages to become as independent as possible in all areas of their life.

Functional skills occupational therapists assess and address:

• Fine motor skills
• Visual perceptual skills
• Cognitive skills
• Visual motor skills
• Self-care skills (dressing, self-feeding)
• Sensory processing skills
• Oral motor control
• Social skills
• Motor planning
• Coordination
• Arm movement and strength

Occupational therapy services include an individualized evaluation to determine the client’s skills, areas for improvement and goals. If OT services are needed the client is seen for treatment sessions to improve the client’s functioning and independence.

OT treatment techniques utilized at Timber Creek Therapies include: aquatic therapy in a warm water pool, hippotherapy on horseback, and individualized interventions in the gym.
