Assisting with adaptive equipment: OTs may recommend and provide training on the use of assistive devices and equipment, such as wheelchairs, splints, adaptive utensils, and aids for personal care, to improve clients' independence and safety.
Collaborating with other healthcare professionals: OTs work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as physicians, physical therapists, speech therapists, and psychologists, to coordinate care and ensure a holistic approach in addressing clients' needs.
Educating clients and caregivers: OTs provide education and training to clients and their families on techniques, strategies, and exercises that can be implemented at home to support progress and enhance independence.
Documenting and reporting: OTs maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation of client assessments, progress, and treatment plans. They may also provide reports and updates to other healthcare professionals, insurance companies, and referral sources.
Conducting research and staying updated: OTs continuously engage in professional development, staying updated on advancements in the field, attending conferences, and participating in research to enhance their knowledge and provide evidence-based interventions.
