Occupational Therapy

At Karp Rehabilitation, our occupational therapists conduct several different types of assessments. These include in-home assessments, worksite visits, ergonomic assessments, and home care assessments. They may also take the form of medical legal documents like Cost of Future Care (CFC) assessments and Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE). In addition, our Youth OT assessments are individualized for the unique life goals of each child. Each of these reports allows the occupational therapist to make recommendations for appropriate services and equipment. Plus, Karp’s occupational therapists will travel to your home or workplace on a day and time that is most convenient for you! Karp offers Occupational Therapy services in Vancouver and throughout B.C.’s lower mainland.
