Activity of Daily Living Skills at OT Therapy
Basic Activities of Daily Living (also referred to as Self Care) skills include upper and lower extremity dressing, toilet hygiene and bowel/bladder management, bathing/showering, personal hygiene/grooming, eating/feeding, functional mobility, and sleep/rest.
​
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) occupations are more complex than ADL skills and are vital to children and young adults to prepare for independent living. These activities are needed to participate independently in home, school, community, and work environments.
IADL skills include meal preparation, community mobility, health maintenance, home management (clothing care, cleaning), shopping, and care of others and pets.
