The Occupational Therapy section of ALSWiki.org contains information about assistive devices, and tasks.
Occupational therapy is a branch of healthcare that helps individuals gain or retain their ability to perform certain functions, such as dressing, writing, or using the bathroom. Assistive devices such as wheelchairs, braces, and other equipment are often part of the treatment. Occupational therapy plays a significant role in the life of an ALS patient, especially in the earlier stages of the disease course.
