What is Occupational Therapy?


Occupational therapy is a client-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and wellbeing through occupation.

The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. Occupational therapists achieve this outcome by working with people and communities to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want to, need to, or are expected to do.
