    An occupational therapy consultation is a meeting with an occupational therapist (OT) to assess your day-to-day needs and recommend practical strategies. The OT focuses on how activities of daily living—such as dressing, bathing, cooking, work tasks, school routines, or mobility—are affected by a condition, injury, or disability.

You may receive recommendations such as activity modifications, adaptive equipment, home or workplace changes, task training, energy-conservation techniques, or referrals to other services if needed.

  3. Professional-care note

    For health-related concerns, consider scheduling with a licensed occupational therapist and follow any guidance from your primary clinician. If symptoms are severe or worsening (e.g., sudden weakness, severe pain, or safety risks at home), seek urgent medical care.
