Occupational therapy for adults – How it is carried out?

 The goal of occupational therapy in adults is to maintain, restore and enable human activities in a safe, autonomous, and efficient manner. The objective of the SpeakEasy Solution firm is to prevent, reduce or even eliminate situations of disability by taking into account the lifestyle of people and their environment.

For whom/why?

In private practice, the occupational therapist works with adult patients following hospitalization or a stay in the rehabilitation center, when the person's evolution allows him to return home but the core objectives remain to be pursued.

The occupational therapist can also intervene, in the form of a vacation, in accommodation structures for adults with disabilities.

How? 'Or' What?

After an initial assessment, the occupational therapist re-educates the damaged functions and maintains the preserved functions. The treatment takes into account the needs of the person and those around them.

The treatment is carried out globally, the activities are chosen according to the centers of interest of this one. Through this mission, the occupational therapist guides adults in the management of their disorders (motor or cognitive) and daily pains.

Rehabilitation of the person

In rehabilitation, the occupational therapist intervenes, for example, for neurological pathologies (stroke, head trauma, etc.) by helping the person to:

• use their fine motor skills to manipulate more precisely, coordinate their movements.

• regain autonomy in daily life to do as much as possible on your own (toilet, travel, preparation of meals, shopping, etc.).

• stimulate their cognitive abilities, to find their way in time/space and organize their day.

• stimulate their sensitivity to feel better and be less embarrassed by certain sensations.

 

The occupational therapist will work with people suffering from rheumatic diseases or those suffering from spinal pathologies (back pain, herniated disc, etc.) by accompanying them to:

• manage and relieve pain.

• maintain motor skills that will be useful in daily activities.

• readjust daily gestures by proposing joint economy techniques.
