Occupational therapist
What is Occupational Therapy?
When occupational therapists talk about occupation, they mean all of the activities that people do; including:
- Self-care (things like washing or eating)
- Work/being productive (attending school or university, working, volunteering, caring for others)
- Leisure (having fun, socialising and hobbies)
Sometimes illness, disability, getting older or a change in personal circumstances may mean it becomes more difficult to do some or all of the normal and usual occupations of life.
