What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy is a health profession that helps people of all ages lead a more productive, satisfying and independent life. Fundamental to the practice of Occupational Therapy is the person's occupations. Occupation is defined as the tasks and activities that occupy a person's time and energy throughout the day. This can include things like getting dressed, preparing a meal, working at a job, playing, attending school, and enjoying time with family or friends. Occupational Therapy helps individuals to perform the occupations they need and want to do.
When a person’s life is affected by illness, disability or any other problem, an occupational therapist (OT) can help them do the things that are important to them by addressing their difficulties.  With children in particular, OTs most commonly address issues that impact their participation in school, self care or leisure activities.
