OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
What is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession which focuses on enabling people to do the things they want and need to do in their daily lives. By focusing on things such as work, school hobbies and social situations, occupational therapy aims to promote health and improve quality of life.
What does an Occupational Therapist do?
An Occupational Therapist's (OT) role is to support an individual by offering practical advice which will help them to carry out their daily activities. Often, an OT will centre around making changes to an individual's environment to suit them.
OT's will assist individual's in many different ways, from helping children with disabilities in school, making recommendations to adaptations in the home, to providing a variety of activities/hobbies for people with disabilities to participate in, OT's will work with people of all different ages.
