Occupational therapy (OT) is a healthcare profession that focuses on enabling people to participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations).
Think of occupational therapy as a bridge between a person’s health condition and their ability to engage in life. It’s about helping people overcome challenges and achieve independence in their daily lives.
An occupational therapist will assess a person’s abilities and goals, then develop a treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. This might involve teaching new skills, adapting the environment, or recommending assistive devices
