What is Occupational Therapy?

Stay independent. Adapt with confidence. Live the life you want.

Occupational therapy helps people of all ages do the things they need and want to do in daily life — through targeted treatment, adaptive strategies, cognitive interventions, and environmental modifications. At ASPIRE Therapy and Wellness in Louisville, Colorado, our licensed occupational therapists evaluate how injury, illness, or aging is affecting your function and design personalized programs to restore independence in self-care, work, hobbies, and social participation.

Every patient gets a one-on-one evaluation with a licensed OT who handles your care from start to finish — no aides or assistants running your sessions. We see patients of all ages, with deep expertise in cognitive rehabilitation, post-stroke recovery, aging-in-place assessments, safe driver screening, and pelvic health occupational therapy.

We serve patients across the Front Range — including Louisville, Boulder, Superior, Lafayette, Broomfield, Longmont, and Erie — from our outpatient clinic at 1371 Hecla Dr, Suite E in Louisville.

Our Approach

Practical, personalized, evidence-based

We pull from a deep occupational therapy toolkit to design care that fits how you actually live, work, and move through your day — never one-size-fits-all.

ADL Training

Activities of daily living — dressing, bathing, cooking, transfers — adapted to restore independence after injury or illness.

Cognitive Therapy

Therapy for memory, attention, executive function, and problem-solving after stroke, concussion, or with cognitive decline.

Home Safety Assessments

In-clinic or on-site evaluation of fall risks and recommendations for environmental modifications and adaptive equipment.

Adaptive Equipment Training

Identification and training on tools and modifications that restore independence — from reachers to wheelchairs.

Safe Driver Screening

OT-led assessment of driving fitness — vision, reaction time, cognition, and physical capacity — to inform decisions about continued driving.

Pelvic Floor OT

Specialized occupational therapy for incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, and pre/postpartum recovery — see our pelvic health page.

When to See a Physical Therapist

OT helps when life feels harder than it should

Many people don't know occupational therapy exists for them — and end up adapting around problems that OT could actually solve. Common situations that benefit from OT:

Daily tasks feel harder — buttoning a shirt, opening jars, getting in/out of the shower

Recovering from a stroke, concussion, or upper-body surgery and need to relearn daily activities

Memory or thinking has changed — forgetting steps, getting lost, struggling with multitasking

After a stroke or neurological event — relearning daily skills

Concerns about driving safely — yours or a loved one's

Wanting to age safely at home — fall prevention and home setup

What to Expect

Your first visit at ASPIRE

Initial evaluations are one-on-one with a licensed occupational therapist — no techs or aides, ever. Here's what happens:

1

Discussion of your symptoms and daily life

We talk through what brought you in, your medical history, what you do every day, what's harder than it should be, and what you want to get back to doing.

2

Functional and hands-on assessment

Depending on your concern: strength and range-of-motion testing, fine motor evaluation, cognitive screening, observation of how you complete daily tasks, or hand evaluation.

3

Working diagnosis and plan of care

You leave with a clear understanding of what's going on, how many visits we expect, what to do at home, and what's next.

4

Initial treatment

Most patients receive treatment on day one — hands-on intervention, exercises, adaptive strategies, or recommended modifications. You don't wait for a second visit to start making progress.

Investment

Transparent pricing, flexible options

We work with most major insurance carriers — including Medicare, Medicare Railroad, most Medicare Advantage plans, United Healthcare, and Select Health. Call 303-963-5582 for a full list of accepted carriers.

Frequently Asked

Common questions about physical therapy

Don't see your question? Call 303-963-5582 or send us a message.

Do I need a referral for occupational therapy in Colorado?

No. Colorado is a direct-access state, which means you can schedule occupational therapy at ASPIRE without a physician's referral. Medicare patients and patients with certain in-network insurance plans are an exception — for those, ASPIRE asks for a physician's order before starting therapy to protect your continuity of care and ensure services are reimbursed by your insurance carrier. Read the full guide.

Does ASPIRE accept insurance for occupational therapy?

Yes. We work with most major insurance carriers including Medicare, Medicare Railroad, most Medicare Advantage plans, United Healthcare, and Select Health. Call 303-963-5582 for a full list of accepted carriers and to verify your specific plan. We verify your benefits before your first appointment so you know your expected out-of-pocket cost.

How much does occupational therapy cost without insurance?

Cash-pay rates at ASPIRE: $177 for the initial evaluation, $75 for a 30-minute follow-up session, $108 for 45 minutes, and $140 for a 60-minute session. These rates are often less expensive than insurance copays plus deductibles, especially for patients with high-deductible plans.

What's the difference between occupational therapy and physical therapy?

Physical therapy focuses on restoring movement, strength, and reducing pain. Occupational therapy focuses on the activities of daily life — making sure you can actually do the things that matter, whether that's dressing yourself, using your hand to write, driving safely, or remembering steps in a recipe. They overlap but answer different questions: PT asks "can your body move?" while OT asks "can you do what you need to do?"

What is safe driver screening?

Safe driver screening is the in-clinic portion of a driving fitness assessment, completed by our occupational therapists. We evaluate vision, reaction time, range of motion, cognition, and decision-making. If concerns are identified, we refer to a certified driving rehabilitation specialist for behind-the-wheel evaluation — the next step in the standard driving rehabilitation pathway. The in-clinic screening is especially valuable for older adults, post-stroke patients, and people with cognitive changes.

Can occupational therapy help with cognitive changes?

Yes. OT is one of the primary disciplines for cognitive rehabilitation. We work with patients recovering from stroke, concussion, or traumatic brain injury, and with people experiencing cognitive decline from dementia, MS, or Parkinson's. Treatment includes memory strategies, attention training, problem-solving exercises, and adaptive routines that help you function in daily life.

How quickly can I get an occupational therapy appointment?

ASPIRE evaluates 93% of new patients within 48 hours of the physician's order. Call 303-963-5582 to schedule.

Do you offer pelvic floor occupational therapy?

Yes. Pelvic floor therapy at ASPIRE is provided by occupational therapists with specialty training in pelvic health — for incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, prenatal and postpartum recovery, menopause-related concerns, and diastasis recti. Learn more on our pelvic health page.

Do you treat older adults and seniors?

Yes — geriatric occupational therapy is a core specialty. We have deep expertise in cognitive rehabilitation, fall prevention, home safety assessments, aging-in-place planning, and post-stroke recovery. We also serve as the contracted in-house provider for several senior living communities across Colorado's Front Range.
