What is an Occupational Therapist?
An occupational therapist helps people of all ages overcome challenges completing everyday tasks or activities – what we call ‘occupations’. They look at relationships between the activities you do every day – your occupations – alongside the challenges you face and your environment. It’s about being able to do the things you want and have to do.
