Therapy focus
What Occupational Therapy Supports
Occupational therapists support people to participate in the activities they want or need to do. This can include self-care, learning, work, play, hobbies, social participation and daily routines.
Approach
How We Work
Occupational therapy uses assessment, observation and evidence-based strategies to understand barriers to participation and support functional skill development. At BMP, clinicians provide support in clinic, via Telehealth, or in school and home environments where appropriate.
