Occupational Therapy Services

Aging out of pediatric care doesn't necessarily mean that independence and work goals have been achieved. Ativo Therapy provides services to adults aged 16 and older who want to continue to live to their full potential. 1:1 OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY SERVICES Occupational therapists at Ativo Therapy take a holistic and strengths-based approach to use the gifts you have and break any barriers that might be getting in the way of independence or success at home and work. Whether it be a lack of experience or skills, the complexities of aging, the home or work environment, or components of the task itself, an occupational therapist can help develop creative and lasting solutions. CAREGIVER ADVISING PROGRAM (CAP) The CAP program is designed for busy families who want to continue to make progress toward goals, but cannot commit to a more intensive therapy schedule. The program includes an evaluation, an individualized and evidence-based home program, and follow-up advising meetings with a skilled occupational therapist.
