"Occupational therapy (OT) is about helping people do everyday tasks for themselves if they are having difficulty due to physical or mental health problems or a disability."
"It could be about getting up in the morning, cooking a meal, parenting, or any number of things."
Occupational therapy helps people regain or maintain the ability to perform everyday activities when those abilities are affected by physical or mental health conditions or disabilities. Interventions focus on tasks such as getting up, personal care, cooking, parenting and household management. OT practitioners assess individual needs, adapt environments, teach strategies and provide equipment to support independence and safety. Goals include improving function, promoting participation in valued roles and enhancing quality of life. Services are tailored to personal routines, capabilities and contexts to enable practical, sustainable daily living solutions.
