Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy

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. Sourced from: https://caot.ca/site/rfs/res_for_students?nav=sidebar
