Limitations & Impairments

This website, has been compiled by Occupational Therapy students at WVU to provide a resource for persons interested in knowing more about how occupational therapy may help with your impairments or disabilities.

Our intent in the Limitations & Impairments section is to provide relevant information about adaptations and therapy approaches commonly used by Occupational Therapists in working with persons with activity limitations. This information is presented through a "diagnosis" sheet, web links, a handout, and through anecdotal reports and evidence-based information.
