Occupational therapy (OT) equipment helps people gain independence in daily life by using adaptive tools (grabbers, built-up utensils, dressing aids), sensory items (weighted blankets, therapy putty, swings for focus/calming), mobility aids (walkers, wheelchairs for movement), and high-tech devices (voice controls, specialized keyboards) to overcome physical/cognitive challenges and improve fine/gross motor skills, balance, and self-care. Therapists select these tools for specific goals, like dressing, eating, working, or sensory regulation, making tasks easier and safer.
