Occupational therapy gives people practical tools to help them recover and overcome obstacles that keep them from doing the activities (or occupations) that are important to them.People's independence and satisfaction in all aspects of life improve as a result of this support.The term "occupation" refers to practical and purposeful activities that enable people to live independently and with a sense of self.This could include daily tasks such as self-care, work, or recreation.Consider your daily life: how well would you cope or live if you didn't have access to the internet?Or have you been unable to get out of bed in the morning?Occupational therapists help adults and children of all ages with a variety of issues, the most common of which are difficulties caused by mental illness, physical disabilities, or learning disabilities.They can work in a variety of settings, including health care, social services, housing, education, non-profits, and as independent practitioners.
