Occupational Therapy

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy enables people to participate in activities they find meaningful.

These activities include taking care of oneself (and others), working, volunteering, and participating in meaningful hobbies, interests and social events.

Occupational Therapists are Allied Health professionals who use standardised assessments to assess the person-environment fit and make recommendations for home, work, community and school modifications to improve functional performance and increase quality of life.
