What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is a profession allied to medicine and involves a creative problem- solving process in which people experiencing physical, mental health or learning difficulties are enabled to reach an optimum level of functioning, independence and quality of life. Service users are viewed holistically in terms of their physical and psychological abilities and their social, cultural and environmental context. Service users and occupational therapists collaborate in defining needs and goals, which will enable and empower them to take control of their lives to achieve a personally meaningful lifestyle. The fundamental values of occupational therapy include:
- A regard for the productive potential of each individual and the need for participation in occupation;
- An understanding of the relationship between occupation and health and well-being;
- A recognition of the requirements for a balanced life style between work, play and self care;
- A belief in the ability of the individual to take responsibility for his/her own life.
