The goal of occupational therapy is to successfully return patients to an active, independent lifestyle.

By helping patients overcome issues like weakness, tremors, and impaired thinking and visual skills, occupational therapists work to restore the patient's ability to carry out activities of daily living like eating, bathing, dressing, returning to work and driving, as well as independent living skills, such as homemaking and money management.
