Occupational Therapy
Augusta University Health provides adult and adolescent occupational therapy (OT) at three locations around Augusta, Georgia.
Our Approach
When you suffer from injury, disability, or illness, it can limit your ability to effectively engage in everyday work, school, self-care, and leisure activities.
Occupational therapy helps patients recover the skills they need to perform activities instrumental to daily living; allowing for greater overall independence and a better quality of life.
Goals of outpatient OT
Our goal is to work with you to improve:
- Activities needed for daily living
- Cognition
- Functional mobility
- Range of motion
- Sensory processing
- Social skills
- Strength
- Visual perception
Referrals to AU Health
We accept referrals from community physicians (MD or DO), nurse practitioners, and physician assistants and will work to maintain a close relationship with your health care provider.
