Description:
Occupational Therapy is a health profession that helps people of all ages lead a more productive, satisfying and independent life. Fundamental to 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.
Working as part of the health care team, the occupational therapist considers the client's occupations, abilities (physical, affective, and cognitive), their environment and their specific needs and goals. An occupational therapist is an expert at analyzing the effects of the client's environment and functional limitations on their ability to perform their day-to-day tasks and activities. Once a thorough assessment has been completed, the occupational therapist works with the client to help him/her fulfill roles as a parent, child, spouse, student, playmate, worker, team player, etc.
Occupational therapists are committed to the development of clinical
expertise through continuing education and clinical research, and in the
development of the profession through the participation in the education
of students.
