What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy (OT) is a science-based, health and social care profession regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
An Occupational Therapist (OT) helps people of all ages overcome challenges completing everyday tasks or activities – what we call ‘occupations’.
An occupation is any activity that we need, wantor like to do to live and to look after our physical and mental health, and our emotionaland spiritual wellbeing. Occupation isn’t just your job or activities of daily living.
An occupation can be self-care, washing, eating or sleeping; productive, work, study, caring or domestic activities; and leisure, playing sports, hobbies or socialising.
We’re all different and so are the occupations that matter to us. They give our lives meaning, purpose and structure.
They help shape who we are, connect us with others and help create our identity and sense of belonging.
Occupational therapists see beyond diagnoses and limitations to hopes and aspirations.
They look at relationships between the activities you do every day – your occupations – alongside the challenges you face and your environment. Then, they create a plan of goals and adjustments targeted at achieving a specific set of activities. The plan is practical, realistic and personal to you as an individual, to help you achieve the breakthroughs you need to elevate your everyday life.
This support can give people a renewed sense of purpose. It can also open up new opportunities and change the way people feel about the future.
