Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapists focus on promoting health and wellbeing by enabling people to participate in the everyday occupations of life, such as:

• self-care activities including showering, dressing, preparing food;
• productive activities such as education, work, volunteering and caring for others; and
• leisure/social activities, such as being part of a community group, engaging in a hobby, and being part of a friendship group.

Occupational Therapists play a particularly crucial role in enabling people experiencing disability to identify and implement methods that support their participation in occupations and everyday activities. This may include modifying an activity or an environment.
