Therapy and methods

Occupational therapy takes place individually or in groups, as per the official regulations for therapeutical treatments. Treatment can also take place at the patient’s home when applicable, such as in situations where help is needed to overcome challenges and problems in the immediate residential environment. In addition to creative, holistic, practical, and functionality-centered methods, cognitive training and work therapy programs are also applied. A wide range of methods and materials, adapted to suit the needs of the patient, are used to achieve the individually agreed upon objectives.
