AOTA works to modify low-income homes
Rehab Regs, January 27, 2006
As a result of relationships between the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and Rebuilding Together, low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities have received home modifications that sustain health and enable their independence, according the an AOTA press release.
Occupational therapists (OT) across the country have consulted on Rebuilding Together projects to improve lighting, remove obstacles, install adaptive equipment, and recommend other strategies to make homes safer and more accessible.
Rebuilding Together has nearly 250 local affiliates across the country, and 44 of those affiliates collaborate with OT practitioners.
