OT's can work with people who want help doing everyday activities, like brushing their teeth, cooking a meal, and even getting out of bed.
What’s the correct way to brush your teeth? Mime it to show us how.
Everyone brushes their teeth differently!
OT’s pay attention to HOW people do things (what hand do you use to turn on the water, where do you store your toothbrush, how long do you brush for) and also how IMPORTANT is that activity to the person (do you never brush your teeth? That’s ok, we don’t need to work on it!)
