At AAVI- Our Occupational Therapy team is dedicated to helping patients recover from, or adapt to, the challenges of illness or disability. We work closely with patients, their families, and primary care physicians to develop a personalized plan of care that supports a smooth adjustment and promotes independence.
Our approach is practical, and patient centered. We incorporate therapeutic activities and exercises based on real-life routines—such as grooming, cooking, or getting dressed—to help individuals regain strength, coordination, and confidence in their daily lives. By focusing on what matters most to each person, we guide them toward reclaiming control and actively participating in the life they love.
