Occupational Therapy

Madonna occupational therapists help patients of all ages recover from an illness or injury by empowering them to re-master activities of daily living. An occupational therapist may help a student with a disability learn to adapt to the classroom environment, an adult with a neurological condition perform tasks like cooking, cleaning, driving and laundry, or an aging adult experiencing cognitive changes to live at their maximum level of independence possible. Madonna occupational therapists can also provide in-home assessments to determine the suitability of the current living situation to a patient’s needs and abilities and suggest adaptations when necessary.  Two of our TherapyPlus clinics are also equipped with a driving simulator that OTs may use to retrain and test drivers in a safe environment.
