CARE recognizes the importance of multidisciplinary services for individuals with developmental, sensory, & cognitive disabilities and therefore, supports and promotes acquisition of independence within "occupations," or daily activities. Some of these occupations include focus on academics, play and leisure, social participation, self-care skills and transition/work skills. Occupational therapy’s expertise includes activity and environmental analysis and modification with a goal of reducing the barriers to participation by offering prevention, promotion, and interventions.
