OTC's Occupational Therapists (OTs) evaluate and treat children and adults who have learning problems, developmental disabilities, or are mentally, emotionally and physically challenged. The therapy goal is to help each client improve their ability to live an independent and fulfilling lifestyle. The individually planned intervention program developed by the therapist helps the client achieve skills required for successful performance of daily living, work and leisure activities.

When working with children, our OTs are concerned with the child's ability to be successful in the primary occupations of childhood - play, daily life tasks, socialization, and school learning. They address life problems arising from developmental, neuromuscular, and/or sensory integration and processing disorders.

When working with adults, the OT intervention plan is based on our patients' activities and progress. We assist clients in a wide range of activities ranging from using public transportation to driving a car, or to daily living skills such as dressing, cooking, and eating.

Our OTs work in a variety of settings, including OTC's Clinic at Somerset, schools, personal residences, community based programs, group homes, sub-acute rehabilitation programs and nursing homes.
