Occupational therapists focus on the things you want and need to do in your daily life. It intervention uses everyday life activities (occupations) to promote health, well-being, and your ability to participate in the important activities in your life. This refers to a person’s aspirations for various activities, including self-care, work, volunteering, and attending school.
Occupational therapy is a client-centered health profession that enhances health and well-being through practical activities, promoting independence and identity maintenance. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life, which include day-to-day tasks such as self-care, work or leisure. Occupational therapists work with people and communities to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want to, need to, or are expected to do, or by modifying the occupation and/or the environment to better support their occupational engagement.
Occupational therapy takes a “whole-person approach” to both mental and physical health, and well-being of a person to optimise function and enable individuals to achieve their full potential. Practical support increases independence by empowering individuals to overcome barriers and focus on daily living activities (ADLs), as they are the cornerstone of independent living. They aim to enhance occupational participation by addressing individual abilities, occupation characteristics, and environmental factors, thereby enhancing overall well-being and productivity.
An occupational therapists role is to support individuals to overcome the effects of decreased functioning caused by illness, ageing and/or accident so that they can carry out everyday tasks or occupations, be it physical, psychological, social and environmental. This support can make a real difference giving individuals a renewed sense of purpose, opening up new horizons, and changing the way they feel about the future.
