Occupational Therapy
What is occupational therapy?
Occupational Therapy is the therapeutic use of everyday life activities for the purpose of enhancing or enabling participation in roles, habits, and routines within a variety of settings. Occupational therapists use their knowledge of person, environment, and occupation to improve children's performance and to create occupation-based intervention plans that facilitate change or growth in client factors (body functions, body structures, values, beliefs, and spirituality) and skills (motor, process, and social interaction) needed for successful participation.
