What is Occupational Therapy (OT)?

Occupational Therapy is all about helping people live life to the fullest by supporting them in the activities (or “occupations”) that are most meaningful to them.

Occupations aren’t just jobs — they’re the everyday tasks that give life structure and purpose: self-care, work, study, leisure, social connection, and rest.

OTs look at the whole person — mind, body, and environment — to remove barriers and build skills so people can engage fully in life.

OT helps people of all ages who face challenges due to illness, injury, disability, or mental health struggles.
