Occupational therapy supports neurological clients in improving independence and participation in daily activities. Through comprehensive assessment and individualized intervention, services address motor, sensory, and cognitive challenges using functional training, adaptation, and education. For individuals with stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease, intervention focuses on self-care, fine motor skills, movement initiation, and fatigue management through energy conservation strategies. For those with spinal cord injury or concussion, support is directed toward regaining functional independence and safely returning to daily roles, work, and routines. Therapy also plays an important role in fall prevention by identifying individual risk factors and addressing balance, strength, and functional mobility during everyday tasks. In addition, recommendations for home modifications, adaptive equipment, and task-specific strategies help enhance safety and confidence in daily environments.
