OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
WHAT IS OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?
Occupational therapy is a highly valuable and specialised field that caters to the diverse needs of both adults and children. Whether individuals are struggling with physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges, occupational therapists are dedicated to helping them regain independence and improve their overall quality of life.
For adults, occupational therapy focuses on enhancing daily living skills, such as self-care, work-related tasks, and leisure activities, while addressing any limitations caused by injury, illness, or disability.
For children, occupational therapy aims to promote optimal development and independence in areas like fine motor skills, sensory processing, social interaction, and academic performance.
Through a holistic and client-centred approach, occupational therapists assess, plan, and implement customised interventions, utilising therapeutic activities and adaptive strategies to maximise functional abilities and achieve meaningful goals. By fostering independence, increasing participation, and empowering individuals, occupational therapy plays a vital role in helping people of all ages reach their full potential.
