What to expect at your first occupational therapist visit in Salem, OH

An initial evaluation lasts 60 to 90 minutes. The OT will assess your ability to perform daily activities, test strength and range of motion (especially upper body and hands), and evaluate sensory processing, cognition, and home or work environment as relevant.

OTs use purposeful activities, exercises, adaptive equipment, and environmental modifications to help you reach your goals.

When to see a occupational therapist

For children: see an OT if your child struggles with handwriting, avoids textures or certain foods (sensory processing), has difficulty with self-care tasks (dressing, feeding) compared to peers, or has fine motor delays identified by a pediatrician or teacher. For adults: see an OT after a stroke, hand or arm injury, joint replacement, traumatic brain injury, or when a chronic condition (arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's) makes daily tasks difficult. OTs also help with workplace ergonomics and injury prevention.
