WHAT IS OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?

---

Occupational therapy promotes health, well-being, and participation
​
Occupational therapists focus on the things you want and need to do in your daily life. Occupational therapy intervention uses everyday life activities (occupations) to promote health, well-being, and your ability to participate in the important activities in your life. This includes any meaningful activity that a person wants to accomplish, including taking care of yourself and your family, working, volunteering, going to school, among many others.
