According to the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, Occupational therapy is a client-centered health profession concerned which promotes health and well-being through means of occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of daily living. Occupational therapists assist clients to achieve independence 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.



Occupational therapy (OT) is a branch of health care that helps people of all ages who have physical, psychological, sensory, or cognitive problems. OT can help them regain independence in all areas of their lives. Occupational therapists help with barriers that affect a person's emotional, social, and physical needs.
