What are “occupations”?

Occupational therapy considers all meaningful and necessary parts of life to be “occupations.” This includes work, education, play, leisure, sleep, socialization, and Activities of Daily Living (dressing, grooming, cooking, driving, etc).*

Occupational Therapists help people learn, re-engage, and access all of life’s occupations.
