- Occupational Therapy (OT) focuses on occupations (a.k.a. anything you do throughout the day that "occupies" your time). Occupations are different for everyone, but are typically those things that you need to do and want to do in your life.
- Occupational Therapists work alongside clients to find independence and satisfaction in their daily occupations by addressing the underlying skills, environment, and steps required. Occupational Therapists specifically tailor services to the individual client by considering all underlying factors and needs of the client.
