Activities of Daily Living:

OT and ADLs:

Activities of daily living (ADLs) are the essential tasks we engage in every day to take care of ourselves and maintain our independence. These activities include bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, and toileting. Occupational therapy plays a crucial role in helping individuals perform these tasks effectively and independently, especially for those with physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges. Occupational therapists work with clients to assess their ADL abilities, develop personalized strategies, and utilize adaptive equipment to promote skill development and enhance overall quality of life. By addressing ADLs, occupational therapy empowers individuals to regain control over their daily routines and gain confidence in their abilities to participate in everyday activities.
