What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy (OT) is a client-centered profession dedicated to promoting health and well-being through occupation. The primary aim of OT is to empower individuals to participate fully in the activities of everyday life. OTs achieve this by working with people to enhance their ability to engage in their daily tasks, or by modifying the task or environment to better support their engagement.
