I See Clients of All Ages
Managing Symptoms
Do typical daily activities exhaust you? Is pain interfering with your enjoyment of things you used to love? Do you have sensitivities to sound, light, or textures? Chronic illness comes with many symptoms that can be difficult to manage. Learn how OT can help with things like energy conservation strategies, pain management, and sensory processing exploration.
Executive Function Strategies and Support
Have difficulty starting new tasks? Constantly misplace your phone? Does your room or desk look like a tornado just passed through? You could have executive dysfunction. It’s a common and often frustrating symptom for people with chronic illness and neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD and Autism. Learn about executive dysfunction, explore how it impacts your life, and find solutions to make life more manageable.
Managing a Complex Illness
Do you leave doctor’s appointments feeling disappointed, unheard, and dismissed? Do you have trouble accessing the care you need? Are all the lifestyle changes, medications, tests, and procedures feeling overwhelming to you? It sounds like you have a chronic illness! Managing your chronic illness will be part of your life, but it doesn’t necessarily have to completely take over your life. Organize your important health information, get referrals to the right specialists, and find ways to integrate health management into your life in a way that works for you.
Finding Success at Work, School, and Play
Is your environment at work or school holding you or your child back? Are you facing a transition that feels overwhelming? Are there recreation activities you’d like to take part in, but can’t currently access? Empower OT can work with you and resources in your community, employers, and educators to make sure you are supported in reaching your academic, career, and recreational goals. Whether it’s skill building, advocacy, or adaptations, there are many ways to open up doors that currently seem closed to you.
