Lifestyle Education (2023)
These programs will be designed to increase awareness and knowledge of healthy lifestyle choices and changes to support health and wellness. Options will be offered individually or in a group setting.
The goal is to help students develop an understanding of how different aspects of their lives affect one another, so they can make informed decisions about their daily activities and lifestyle.
Occupational Therapy deals with restoring patients to activities/occupations of choice, including activities of daily living (e.g., dressing, getting out of bed, grooming, etc.) and incidental activities of daily living (e.g., shopping, cooking, writing, etc.). OT seeks to restore or maximize independence in activities of choice, including hand therapy, fine motor skills, tendon repair, and burns.
At Active OT, we treat a variety of orthopedic, neurological, and neuromuscular conditions and provide education and strategies that permit you to participate in activities of daily living while healing.

For example, many schools offer cooking classes as part of their curriculum. This type of class teaches students how to prepare and cook healthy meals, as well as how to source and purchase ingredients in a sustainable way. While these classes are generally taught by teachers who have some background in nutrition, the focus is on teaching students how to make the choices themselvesu2014not just what the right answers are.
It’s about what you decide. It’s about finding out what makes you feel good and doing that over and over again, until it becomes second nature. The point is not to learn how to do something: the point is that you get better at doing things the way YOU like them.
