Whether it is a Neurological dysfunction or Orthopaedic acute injury, the Occupational Therapy team is able to safely develop means to accomplish a maximal level of independence. Realistic expectations and goals are established for each patient with continual training provided to family members as well as caregivers to adapt and modify the patient's environment for optimal performance.
