How can Occupational Therapy help you?
The goal of Occupational Therapy at Solace Psychology & Wellness, South Edmonton, is to increase independence and well-being. Occupational Therapy allows you to gain the abilities and skills that are required to complete everyday tasks that you need to achieve and that you want to fulfill. This may include getting ready for the day, cooking your favourite meals, working more efficiently at your job, improving learning at school, or playing sports. Occupational Therapy may focus on improving cognition (thinking and reasoning), motor skills (mobility), community living and adaptations or accommodations at home, work or school. OT services are designed to help children with special needs succeed and to aid adults who are recovering from an injury or motor vehicle accident thrive.
Our Occupational Therapists will help you overcome challenges that are holding you back so that you can achieve a greater quality of life.
