What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is a multi-disciplinary health care profession that uses therapeutic interventions to improve performance in daily living activities. These activities are called occupations because they are necessary for people to carry out in order to live more independently, with dignity, safety, and as independently as possible from others.

Teenagers with social and lifestyle problems, or disabilities resulting from an accident or disease, can benefit greatly with an OT. This will help improve their independence and quality of life into adulthood.
Adrian also creates a farm-based occupational therapy program for teenagers, by utilising the activities available at Pleasant Sense Farm. These programs are designed to help the teenager achieve their full potential. More details on these programs will be available soon.
