Occupational Therapy
Find Your Occupational Therapist Nearby
In its simplest terms, occupational therapists help people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations) including helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes. Find an occupational therapist near you.
Hand & Arm Care
Therapists deliver care for the hand and arm after an injury, pain from overuse, and dysfunction. Basic fine motor skills are addressed and strengthened.
Certified Hand Specialists create splinting for the individual patient.
Cognitive Therapy
Individuals utilize functional cognition to process every day activities in their environments. Therapists work on early identification and implementing plans to improve life skills.
ADL Training
Highly skilled therapists help patients who struggle with ADLs (activities of daily living) such as grooming, dressing, feeding, toileting. Identifying individual deficits allow the patients the highest form of independence.
Sensory Integration Specialist
Specialized therapy for those children diagnosed with sensory integration disorder.
Worker’s Injury
Returning to work after an on-the-job injury, occupational and physical therapists help you repair and recover.
Developmental Milestones
As your child grows, developmental milestones are targets for maturing: rolling over, sitting, crawling, walking, jumping, and playing. Keeping up with peers is fundamental to a child. Occupation therapists & physical therapists help guide those struggling with determined milestones.

Occupational Therapy FAQ
Will my insurance cover PT, OT and/or Speech Therapy?
The short answer is yes! Most policies acknowledge the charge codes from PT, OT and Speech. Each listed provider has indicated the companies with which they contract services. As always, confer with your individual insurance carrier for in-network providers, up-to-date deductibles and copays which may apply.
May I work with my own therapist or must I go with the clinic associated with my doctor?
Yes, just like you can choose the pharmacy of your choice. You may choose any therapist (and hopefully one found on this registry!)
What should I wear to therapy?
Wear something loose and comfortable so the therapist can easily work with your body. If needed, a hospital gown can be provided for access and modesty.
Ex. If your elbow needs their attention, wearing a short sleeved shirt will allow easy access for therapy.
Ex. If your knee needs attention but you are coming from work, bring a pair of shorts so they may look at your knee, gait and leg posture.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
