Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps people to live more productive lives. It enables people with disabilities to carry out essential activities, with the aim of maintaining or improving independence.
Examples of essential activities include:
- Managing personal care, such as getting to the bathroom and transferring on/off toilet
- Safe mobility around your home to enable you to prepare meals, get in/out of bed, manage the steps and stairs
- Enabling an individual to take up or stay in paid or unpaid work
- Enabling your carer to care for you
Occupation means any way in which people spend their time, from personal care (washing, dressing, toileting) to productivity (paid or unpaid work, housework, education); to leisure (games, sports, hobbies, social activities).
