We work with individuals of all ages to encourage participation in activities of daily living, which includes anything the patient needs to do in order to participate in meaningful activities that are important for quality of life.
This may involve engagement in activities in the community, at home, at work, or at school. We partner with patients and their families to develop personalized goals to address what matters most.
