Adults With Mobility Disabilities, ADHD, ADD

CDC Statistic and Facts

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that around 61 million adults in the United States live with a functional disability. More than 1 in 4 adults (28.7%) in United States have some type of disabilities. These disabilities can be physical, affecting movement, vision, or hearing, or cognitive, involving challenges with decision-making or thinking. Disabilities may be present from birth or develop later in life, impacting individuals regardless of age or background.

As a result, people with disabilities are at an increased risk of injury and may find it harder to stay active. Therefore, prioritizing physical, speech, or occupational therapy is crucial. These therapies can greatly improve quality of life and support overall wellness goals.

Statistics showing the percentage of people with disability facing ADLs and IADLs challenges in the United States.

13.9 percent of U.S. adults have a cognition disability with serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.
12.2 percent of U.S. adults have a mobility disability with serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs.
7.7 percent of U.S. adults have an independent living disability with difficulty doing errands alone.

At CFTAW (Center for Therapy and Wellness), therapy plays a vital role in supporting adults with mobility disabilities, ADHD, and ADD by offering tailored interventions that improve physical abilities, cognitive functions, and emotional well-being. Our approach integrates physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and speech therapy (ST) to meet the unique challenges these individuals face, helping them achieve greater independence and a better quality of life.

How our therapists at CFTAW can help with adults with mobility disabilities, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)

1- Physical Therapy (PT)

For Mobility Disabilities: At CFTAW, physical therapy is designed to restore and enhance mobility, strength, and balance. Our therapists create personalized exercise plans that target specific needs, helping individuals with mobility impairments regain independence, reduce pain, prevent falls, and move with greater confidence. We also provide training in the use of assistive devices, such as walkers or wheelchairs, to improve safe and effective mobility.
For ADHD/ADD: Physical activity is known to help individuals with ADHD or ADD manage hyperactivity, improve focus, and reduce stress. At CFTAW, our physical therapy sessions are structured to provide movement-based strategies that can calm the mind, improve attention, and help patients better control impulsive behaviors.

2- Occupational Therapy (OT)

For Mobility Disabilities: Our occupational therapy services at CFTAW focus on helping individuals perform daily tasks like dressing, cooking, and personal care, despite physical limitations. We introduce adaptive equipment and home or workplace modifications to make everyday activities easier. Occupational therapy also teaches energy conservation techniques, allowing adults to complete tasks without becoming fatigued.
For ADHD/ADD: For adults with ADHD or ADD, OT helps improve time management, organization, and sensory regulation. Our therapists at CFTAW provide customized strategies to manage distractions, build effective routines, and improve focus on tasks, making everyday responsibilities more manageable.

3- Speech Therapy (ST)

For Mobility Disabilities: Speech therapy at CFTAW helps individuals with communication challenges that arise from neurological impairments or mobility-related conditions. Our speech therapists work on improving speech clarity, voice control, and cognitive-communication skills like memory and problem-solving. We also address swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) to ensure safe eating and reduce health risks associated with feeding issues.
For ADHD/ADD: Adults with ADHD or ADD often struggle with clear communication, staying on topic, or impulsive speech. At CFTAW, speech therapy focuses on improving listening comprehension, organizing thoughts, and developing social communication skills. This helps patients better manage their conversations and interactions, both personally and professionally.
