What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is the therapeutic use of self-care, work/productive activities, and play/leisure activities to increase independent function, enhance development, and prevent disability. It includes adapting tasks and the environment to maximize independence and quality of life. The term occupational refers to activities that are meaningful to the individual within the environments in which the person lives and functions. More Information from the AOTA
