Occupational therapy is a type of health care that helps to solve the problems that interfere with a person’s ability to do the things that are important to them – everyday things like:
Self-care – getting dressed, eating, moving around the house,
Being productive -going to work or school, participating in the community, and
Leisure activities – sports, gardening, social activities.
Occupational therapy can also prevent a problem or minimize its effects.
Occupational therapists work in home, institutional (i.e. hospitals, schools), industry and business (i.e. corporations) and government settings.
