What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy can help infants, children and young people grow, learn, play and socialise so they can develop, thrive and reach their full potential.
Most people who see an occupational therapist want to explore why they may have difficulty performing everyday activities like; dressing, tying shoe laces, feeding themselves, paying attention, writing, drawing, completing classwork or learning the skills to live independently. Some people may have difficulty regulating their emotions or unwinding to get a good nights sleep.
"Occupation" is a term which refers to partaking in purposeful activities that allow us to live. This includes day-to-day tasks such as self-care skills, attending school or work and partaking in social and leisure activities.
