Occupational therapy professionals work with patients recovering from injury and surgery, and those with chronic illness, to develop the necessary skills to remain independent. These specialists practice everyday activities with patients and offer modifications needed to perform specific tasks.
Occupational therapists at UF Health Jacksonville treat patients from newborns to older adults. They begin with an evaluation and discuss personal goals with you, or family members of young patients, to develop a customized rehabilitation plan.
