Occupational Therapist Marin County

Some examples of occupation therapy are: arthritis that makes driving challenging, autism may hinder a child from interacting effectively with classmates; traumatic brain injury keeps a wounded warrior out of active duty because of difficulties with memory and organizational skills, or a small change in activities or the environment could prevent a future condition.
