    April is National Occupational Therapy Month, a time to bring awareness to the benefits and importance of occupational therapy.  Occupational Therapy helps individuals live life to its fullest.
    Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants help people participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations).
    Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing support for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes.
    Occupational therapy services may include comprehensive evaluations of the client’s home, workplace, school or other environments, recommendations for adaptive equipment and training in its use, and guidance and education for family members and caregivers.  Occupational therapy practitioners have a holistic perspective in which the focus is on adapting the environment to fit the person.
    Lane Regional Medical Center offers Occupational Therapy to serve our patients needs in every stage of recovery.  This includes: acute inpatient care, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient therapy and home health.
