What is Occupational Therapy?
The role of occupational therapy is to help individuals live their best life at home, at work, at school, and everywhere in between.
An occupational therapist – also referred to as an OT – helps individuals of all ages to overcome physical, neurological, or developmental challenges caused by an injury or condition to complete everyday activities. These activities are also called occupations.
Occupations are the activities we want, need, or like to do in order to live our lives and take care of our physical and mental health. Our occupations can be related to self-care, leisure, or productivity in any context. The role of an occupational therapist is to look at an individual’s occupations and challenges, then set a plan of goals or adjustments that help the individual achieve specific activities, such as work, learning, or leisure.
