Instrumental Activities of Daily Living:

OT and IADLs:

Occupational therapy plays a vital role in enabling individuals to engage in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). These activities encompass a wide range of tasks that are essential for independent living, such as meal preparation, housekeeping, managing finances, and utilizing transportation services. Occupational therapists specialize in assessing an individual's abilities and identifying ways to enhance their performance in these areas. Through innovative interventions, such as adaptive equipment, environmental modifications, and skill-building exercises, occupational therapy empowers individuals to regain or enhance their independence in IADLs. By focusing on these practical and meaningful activities, occupational therapy promotes holistic well-being and enables individuals to live life to its fullest potential.
