Occupational Therapy, Technology, Healthcare Access and Telehealth
|
Written by Pat Nellis, OTD, OTR/L
As we close out a month of celebrating Occupational Therapy 2020 during the COVID 19 crisis, we want to take time to reflect on some of the positive changes this unprecedented event has ushered in. For the past 6-8 weeks, life has been something very different for all of us. We have assumed new roles we really had not considered, such as substitute teachers and adapted to established roles with “new” ways of doing things, such as virtual meetings at work or social happy hours.
We have used
telehealth
to help patients develop cognitive, motor, and performance skills; use assistive technology, adapt techniques to complete daily needed tasks; modify work, home, or school environments; and create health-promoting habits and routines.

Many of us find ourselves in uncharted territory these days; may it be working from home, homeschooling our children, increased electronic device time, or a more sedentary lifestyle. At this point, we have been working from our home in makeshift work stations for quite some time. We might forget about the importance of
proper body alignment, posture, and healthy habits
for our bodies.

Occupational Therapy
is a profession that assists people throughout their lifetime to do the things they desire and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities (occupations). Occupational therapists (OT) and Occupational Therapy Assistants (OTA) enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by promoting a healthy lifestyle, and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability.
