Occupational therapy is a client-centred health profession that aims to help individuals return to their daily activities, work, and life. Occupational therapists work with people who have physical, mental, or social disabilities and/or injuries, to assist them in overcoming challenges they face in their everyday activities. They achieve this by providing meaningful activities and routines to help individuals adapt to, reduce, or prevent further complications.
