Occupational Therapist, Craig Hospital, Colorado

Sarah Harrison joined Craig Hospital after receiving her Occupational Therapy degree from the University of Kansas in 2013. At Craig, she works with individuals with spinal cord injuries in the inpatient setting.

Harrison’s video interview contains basic information about what occupational therapy can help a patient to accomplish while in the hospital and how it can help to ease the transition from hospital to home after rehabilitation. She addresses the home modifications needed for a wheelchair, the adaptations necessary for cooking and how to take charge of personal hygiene and grooming. She explains how people with spinal cord injuries can find a Driver Rehabilitation program that will enable them to drive with adaptations specific to their level of paralysis.
