Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession that helps people of all ages to perform the activities that they need or want to do, despite any physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges they may be experiencing. Occupational therapists work with individuals, families, and communities to promote health and well-being through participation in meaningful and purposeful activities, or occupations.

The goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to live as independently and as fully as possible by improving their ability to engage in the activities that are important to them. This could include everything from self-care activities such as bathing and dressing, to work-related tasks, leisure activities, and social interactions.

Occupational therapists use a variety of techniques and interventions to help individuals achieve their goals. This could include teaching new skills or adapting environments or activities to make them more accessible. Occupational therapists also work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, and physical therapists, to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to care.

Occupational therapy is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including developmental disabilities, mental health disorders, neurological conditions, chronic illnesses, and injuries
