TAHUN BARU AZAM BARU:OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

What is Occupational Therapy?

According to wikipedia, 

Occupational therapy is a discipline that aims to promote health by enabling people to perform meaningful and purposeful activities. Occupational therapist work with individuals who suffer from a mentally, physically, developmentally, and/or emotionally disabling condition by utilizing treatments that develop, recover, or maintain clients, activities of daily living. The therapist helps clients not to improve their basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also to compensate for permanent loss of function. The goal of occupational therapy is to help clients have independent, productive, and satisfying lives.

Occupational therapy plays a large role in the development of a child with Cerebral Palsy.
