Occupational Therapy 101
Recorded March 3, 2022. The word “occupational” in occupational therapy can be misleading. This profession is not about vocational counseling or work training. Occupational therapists are health care professionals who help people adults and children, to resume or maintain participation in a variety of tasks – their jobs, leisure and social activities, getting around, caring for themselves and their home, and much more.
In this video, we find out what an OT can do to help you or the person/child you are caring for. This will be a part of an ongoing series on occupational therapy, later sessions will be focused on specific areas that an OT can assist with.
