Claudia A. Ghigliotty, OTR

Occupational therapy in Washington Heights meets a practical need at 177 Fort Washington Ave. Claudia A. Ghigliotty, OTR focuses on restoring daily living skills after injury or illness rather than sweeping promises. Treatments address hand function, sensory integration, and energy conservation—skills that translate directly into kitchen prep, buttoning shirts, or managing chronic fatigue. Movement and cognition aren’t separate here; your next staircase climb or grocery run can become part of the plan.

The Upper Manhattan neighborhood adds a pragmatic layer. A short bus ride from Audubon Terrace or a brisk walk from Bennett Park is enough to reach the address without circling for parking. Sessions blend rehab with real-life navigation, so returning up Fort Washington’s hill after snow isn’t just a chore—it can be part of measurable progress. Balance retraining and fine-motor drills help with keys, utensils, and computer mice; fatigue management strategies keep grocery hauls or commuting from derailing the day.

Plan a visit by checking the map for directions first. (212) 305-8352 can finalize timing before you head up the front steps. The subway’s 1-train drops you at 181st Street; from there it’s a flat two blocks west to the building. Once inside, therapy adapts to your pace, not a rigid itinerary.
