Self-Care Skills
Time can frequently bring on more challenges in life, and this is certainly true with age. There are many different forms of degenerative diseases that can negatively impact your quality of life over time, and learning how to cope with these growing concerns and finding solutions for improving your ability to care for yourself and communicate with loved ones is absolutely essential for mental well-being. This is where it is important to focus on self-care skills for adults. Working with a physical, occupational or speech therapist can help you to develop the skills necessary to feel comfortable and confident in your abilities as you age, and Therapy Care in Batavia can help you with this process.
Benefits of Occupational Therapy and Self-Care Skills
Whether it is as a result of degenerative disease like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, or there is loss of neurological functionality following a stroke or head trauma, finding that you are faced to live with the inability to engage in basic functions that you’ve been able to do your whole life is a challenging reality that no individual should have to face. When loss of basic skills, whether that is the ability to speak clearly, walk effectively, or provide yourself with basic hygienic care interferes with your quality of life, then it is time to turn to therapeutic support to help restore some level of normalcy and comfort to your lifestyle. This is what self-care skills for adults can provide.
Common Practices
Common forms of self-care skills for adults provided in therapeutic care include support with walking and talking, guidance and training for eating and swallowing effectively, and support with finding the right accommodations to make caring for yourself in the home possible.

We were struggling feeding solids to my breastfed 1 yr old and Erin Jackson gave us so many helpful tips that made a difference right away with our son. I thought Feeding therapy wasn’t going to do much with our picky son but with just one visit, it made a worlds difference. Thank you Erin!

Margaret provided speech and language services to both of my daughters for a span of 2 years. She is an absolutely phenomenal provider. Margaret is caring and takes a child-led play based approach, which I appreciate. Margaret also used her expertise to pull in other therapy modalities as appropriate to get us connected with the resources my daughters needed to reach all of their developmental goals.
