The Role of Occupational Therapists:

Helping you live your best life

Occupational therapy is a type of health care that helps to solve the problems that interfere with a person’s ability to do the things that are important to them – everyday things like:

• Self-care – getting dressed, eating, moving around the house,
• Being productive – going to work or school, participating in the community, and
• Leisure activities – sports, gardening, social activities. 

Occupational therapists can be found in a wide variety of settings, and in each setting their role will look a little bit different! Check out some of the different roles you might find an Occupational therapist in.
