What is occupational therapy?

What is Occupational Therapy?


Occupational therapy is a client-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and well being 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, or by modifying the occupation or the environment to better support their occupational engagement. (WFOT 2012)

How does occupational therapy help?

Occupation is the purposeful use of time and energy in self-care, work and leisure activities. Occupational therapy is the design and use of therapeutic activities to increase independent function in self-care, work, and leisure; to enhance development; and to prevent disability. It may include adaptation of task or environment to achieve maximum independence and to enhance quality of life.

  • Self-care activities, e.g. eating, grooming, dressing, functional mobility, toileting, bathing, etc.

  • Household management, e.g. cooking, shopping, household cleansing, etc.

  • Work or Study

  • Leisure and play

  • Quality of life
