                     HOW THERAPIST PROVIDE OCC
UPATIONAL 
THERAPY
Occupational therapy (or "occupational therapy" in 
English) is a rehabilitative healthcare profession 
that promotes health and well-being and - more 
generally - increases the patient's quality of life 
through employment. They teach the patient-specific 
deficit compensation strategies through still 
preserved skills.
The intervention in favors of those with a cognitive 
function disorder should start from a very careful 
examination of the cognitive damage and the real 
potential present in the person, to then design a 
highly individualized path that improves the quality 
of their life as much as possible, which is the 
ultimate goal of all cognitive rehabilitation 
techniques.
Although each rehabilitation 
process is unique, the stages of 
cognitive rehabilitation are 
essentially the same for all 
patients:the doctor investigates the 
still intact and altered cognitive 
functions, assessing the severity of 
the deficit;the development of 
compensation strategies for 
cognitive and behavioural disorders 
is activatedThe last phase involves 
the generalization of compensation 
strategies in the social 
environment.The rehabilitation 
practice is mainly carried out 
through:the recovery of previously 
acquired behavioural patterns;the 
creation of new behavioural 
patterns;
Most - but not exclusively - adopted cognitive 
rehabilitation techniques find their cultural 
matrix in the cognitive-behavioural model. The 
most used techniques are:
techniques that increase adequate behaviours 
already present in the subject's repertoire;
techniques that increase adequate behaviours 
not present in the subject's repertoire;
occupational therapy;
techniques that increase attention functions;
techniques that increase the working memory;
Techniques for speech rehabilitation.
San Diego occupational therapy will 
deal in particular with occupational therapy 
carried out by the occupational therapist on the 
doctor's recommendation.

FINAL REMARKS
At present, the effectiveness of cognitive 
rehabilitation interventions is still the 
subject of discussion by some authors. 
However, the importance of all those 
modalities that help the patient with a 
deficit take care of themselves 
independently and improve or improve is 
undeniable. Maintaining a good quality of 
life, good health, and good brain function is 
desirable for the patient and the whole 
community since an autonomous, happy and 
healthy individual weighs less on the 
National Health System on average.
