Occupational Therapy (OT) is a healthcare profession that helps people of all ages do the things they need and want to do in their daily lives. Whether someone is recovering from an injury, managing a disability, or facing developmental or mental health challenges, occupational therapists work with them to improve their ability to perform everyday activities—also called “occupations.”
