But what is Occupational Therapy (OT)?
Occupational Therapy (OT) is defined as "A profession concerned with promoting health and well being through occupation. The primary goal of occoccupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life.
Occupational therapists achieve this outcome by enabling people to do things that will enhance their ability to participate or by modifying the environment to better support participation.
Occupational therapists have a broad education that equips them with skills and knowledge to work collaboratively with individuals or groups of people who have an impairment of body structure or function due to a health condition, and who experience barriers to participation.
Occupational therapists believe that participation can be supported or restricted by physical, social, attitudinal and legislative environments. Therefore, occupational therapy practice may be directed to changing aspects of the environment to enhance participation."
