Occupational therapy (OT) involves the therapeutic use of everyday life activities for the purpose of increasing participation in roles and situations at home, school, work, community, and other settings. OT services are provided for the purpose of promoting health and wellness to those who have, or are at risk for developing, an illness, injury, disease, disorder, condition, impairment, disability, activity limitation, or participation restriction. OT addresses the physical, cognitive, psychosocial, sensory, and other aspects of performance in a variety of contexts to support engagement in everyday life activities that affect health, well-being, and quality of life.
