Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy is the art and science of helping individuals carry out daily activities that are meaningful to them, regardless of any condition, disability, or limitation they may face.

The work of Occupational Therapists

Its application is based on the belief that purposeful activities, selected for their therapeutic value, are essential for recovery. Occupational Therapists use these activities to help patients develop abilities they previously lacked or regain skills that have been lost or diminished, enabling them to restore functionality in work, recreation, self-care, and social life. Occupational Therapy draws knowledge from Medicine, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, and other disciplines.

Occupational Therapists carefully analyze physical, environmental, psychosocial, spiritual, emotional, political, and cultural factors to identify barriers to performing daily tasks.

The main areas of Occupational Therapy intervention include:

  • Training in Activities of Daily Living (ADL)
  • Gross motor skills
  • Fine motor skills
  • Sensory integration
  • Cognitive function
  • Handwriting and graphomotor skills

These interventions can be delivered individually or in group settings.

At the Attica Rehabilitation & Recovery Center, there is a fully equipped Occupational Therapy Department that features:

  • Activity Space: For the evaluation and re-education of upper limb function using interactive systems and specialized biofeedback software.
  • Training Area for Daily Living Activities and Self-Care: Focused on helping patients regain independence in daily routines.
