TOPIC: Understanding and getting the most our of Occupational Therapy: when to seek therapy, creating goals with your therapist, and getting the most from your therapist. The job of an OT is to identify strategies that will allow you to continue  doing activities that are important to you. Each person with PD will  have different goals based on his or her symptoms and disease  progression, as well as individual lifestyles, interests and priorities. Whether you have been living with PD for one month, five years or 20  years, and whether your goal is playing tennis or spending time with family, an OT will help you to find ways to match your personal  strengths with activities that will help you reach  your goals.
