Parkland OT Life CliniC

Looking for more socialization, movement, or creativity in your life?

Our program consists of classes, activities, and engagement both in person at Parkland on Mattis and through a virtual platform. We are a community-based, habilitative occupational therapy clinic, which means we do not address acute injuries or operate with insurance or physician orders. 

See our eligibility information to see if the OT LIFE Clinic is right for you. For our clients, we can help reduce the effects of social distancing, maximize opportunity for mobility, and provide activities to improve cognitive engagement. This also provides a unique opportunity to foster student learning, client interaction, and development of clinical competency.

The OT LIFE Clinic will be offered weekdays throughout Parkland's fall semester. Contact us today to make your appointment!
