Occupational Therapy addresses the needs and desires of individuals to participate in occupations and activities that are meaningful to their lives. The focus is to enable individuals and groups to participate in every day occupations that:
are meaningful to them
provide fulfillment
engage them in everyday life with others
Occupation forms the cornerstone of Occupational Therapy evaluation and intervention. Occupational therapists help their clients to develop or adapt their abilities to allow for meaningful participation in occupations and activities across all life settings including home, school, workplace, and community.
Occupational therapy is based on the premise that participation in everyday occupations:
Is vital for all human beings
Has a positive impact on health and well-being
Assists acquisition of skills and competencies throughout a lifetime
Allows for connection with others and the community
Gives meaning to our lives
