Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps people of all ages overcome physical, developmental, social and emotional problems, giving people “skills for the job of living.” Our goal is to provide skilled treatment that helps individuals achieve independence in their daily living.

At Avera St. Luke’s, our occupational therapists and assistants administer specific treatments involving exercises and purposeful activities to enable patients to regain independence and lead productive lives. We offer comprehensive services that include evaluation, treatment, screening, prevention and consultation.

Services are provided to inpatients at our main St. Luke’s campus in Aberdeen, SD, at 305 S. State St., and outpatient occupational therapy is done at Avera St. Luke's Therapy Center, 805 First Ave. SE. Occupational therapy is also provided in schools, nursing homes and other settings, including home health care.

Occupational therapy services are provided through Avera outreach facilities to people who live outside the Aberdeen area.
