What is Occupational Therapy (OT)?
Occupational Therapy is a client-centred health profession that involves ongoing assessment and intervention to understand what activities you can do (and those you want to do), any current limitations, your goals/motivations and also to offer advice/techniques about how to do something more easily and safely.
Occupational Therapy enables people to participate in activities they find meaningful, facilitate return to function, achieve independence and increase engagement in day to day activities. These activities may include taking care of oneself (and others), working, volunteering, driving, and participating in hobbies, interests and social events.
