What is Occupational Therapist?
An Occupational Therapist is a healthcare professional who helps individuals achieve daily tasks through a holistic approach. The term “occupation” in occupational therapy refers to the ordinary activities that individuals do on a daily basis, both within the family and in the community. These everyday occupations give meaning to life and occupational therapists help individuals who need it to perform all the necessary tasks and activities of daily living.
