Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is a health profession aiming to promote wellbeing by enabling people to participate in the activities of everyday life such as self-care, leisure, independent living or work.
This may be achieved by building people’s skills and capacity, providing education, providing assistive equipment or modifying environments.
