How Occupational Therapists Help People Stay Independent at Home
Occupational therapists (OTs) are experts at helping people do what matters most—on their own terms.
Whether it's recovering from surgery, adapting to a new diagnosis, or navigating age-related changes, OTs support individuals in:
Getting dressed
Cooking meals
Bathing safely
Navigating their home
They also recommend tools like MyLEDA, a lower extremity dressing aid that allows for safe, seated dressing—perfect for people with mobility challenges or balance concerns.
Paired with resources like our e-book, "Solutions for Living Life Well with a Disability," OTs give people the confidence and tools to live independently, safely, and with dignity.
If you or a loved one works with an OT, take a moment to say thank you. Their work changes lives.
