Occupational therapy is needed when an individual experiences difficulties participating in everyday activities due to physical, sensory, or cognitive challenges. These difficulties can manifest in various ways across different life domains. For children, signs that occupational therapy might be beneficial include delays in fine motor skills (e.g., writing, buttoning), gross motor skills (e.g., jumping, throwing), sensory processing (e.g., over- or under-sensitivity to sounds, touch), and self-care skills (e.g., dressing, feeding). In adults, occupational therapy may be needed after an injury, surgery, stroke, or due to chronic conditions like arthritis or multiple sclerosis, when they experience difficulty with tasks such as dressing, bathing, cooking, working, or engaging in hobbies. Cognitive impairments, such as memory loss or difficulty with problem-solving, can also necessitate occupational therapy to develop compensatory strategies and improve independence in daily tasks. Mental health conditions can impact an individual's ability to engage in meaningful activities, and occupational therapy can help improve social skills, emotional regulation, and participation in leisure and social activities. Observing difficulties with daily routines, decreased independence, or frustration with performing tasks are key indicators that an occupational therapy evaluation may be warranted. Seeking an OT assessment can provide valuable insights into underlying functional challenges and lead to the development of tailored interventions to improve participation and quality of life.
