As an OT, you will assess patients' physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities to determine areas for improvement. You will develop individualized treatment plans and implement therapeutic activities to enhance patients' daily living skills, focusing on activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and self-feeding.

You may also incorporate preparatory activities to help patients regain independence and improve functional mobility.
