For adults with ADHD, managing daily life can feel like juggling endless tasks, deadlines, and responsibilities. Occupational therapy (OT) offers a practical, personalized approach to help individuals navigate these challenges and build skills to thrive. Unlike other treatments, OT focuses on creating strategies tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.
What is Occupational Therapy for ADHD?
Occupational therapy helps individuals improve their ability to perform everyday activities, from managing schedules to maintaining relationships. For adults with ADHD, this means developing tools and techniques to address challenges like disorganization, impulsivity, and time management.
