Occupational therapists are allied health professionals who assess and assist people living with disability, injury or illness which may impact their ability to complete activities of daily living. Daily living activities encompass all the tasks we do in everyday life, including self-care, household tasks, community access, education and work, recreation, and leisure.
We evaluate a range of domains including mobility, energy and endurance, cognition, mental health, communication, and social interaction. Occupational therapy can help people of all ages with physical, neurological, cognitive, and psychological conditions.
