Happy Teacher’s Day

 

Sending out a special Thank You to all the teachers out there who support, teach and love our children with autism.

We appreciate you more than you will ever know.

What do occupational therapists do?

 

When you change your habits, you change your health.

 

This mantra is at the heart of occupational therapy. As occupational therapists, we believe YOU have the power to influence your own health. And, one of the most powerful ways to do so is by addressing your day-to-day habits. We help our clients do the hard work of changing how they do things on a daily basis—with the ultimate goal of improving their health.

In some cases, a life-changing event (like a stroke or a car accident) forces a client to do things differently. We work alongside them to build new habits that will speed their recovery and enable them to participate in life as fully as possible with their new circumstances.

We also help clients with chronic conditions build habits to manage their condition—and, when possible, prevent the condition from progressing.

 

Why is occupational therapy important?

There have been incredible advances in healthcare when it comes to surgery, medication, and technology.

And yet, the most powerful influencer over your health is still YOU.

In our complex healthcare system, you are your own best advocate. And, in many ways, you have the power to impact your own health in a positive way.

Occupational therapy is an important piece of the healthcare puzzle, because TRC empowers you to improve your health by changing your own habits.

Our approach as TRC is unique, because we take the time to understand your health holistically—and figure out what matters to you in your daily life. We call these your “valued occupations.” These daily occupations are at the center of your therapy goals, and you’ll spend a lot of time practicing them during your TRC sessions. Read on to see what this entails.

 

What areas can Remarkable Theraphy Centre (TRC) help with?

In collaboration with you, we’ll look closely at the daily habits and routines related to your health condition. In TRC, we call these “activities of daily living” or “ADLs.”

Here is the complete list of ADLs an TRCcan help with, as outlined by our official practice framework:

Bathing • Care of Others • Communication • Dressing • Community Mobility • Eating • Education • Financial Management • Functional Mobility • Health Management • Home Maintenance • Leisure • Meal Preparation • Personal Device Care • Personal Hygiene • Play • Spiritual Activities • Sleep • Safety Procedures • Sexual Activity • Shopping • Social Participation • Toileting and Toilet Hygiene • Work

The scope of occupational therapy is broad. For this reason, many practitioners choose to specialize in a particular focus area.
