Profile

Occupational therapists work with both children and adults with acquired conditions such as stroke or spinal cord injury, people with mental health problems or congenital conditions such as cerebral palsy or spina bifida, and many others. Occupational therapists aim to facilitate independence in daily ‘occupations’, such as self-care, work, financial management, leisure pursuits, or education. Any illness, trauma, or disruption can result in difficulties in these areas due to problems with moving, thinking, or carrying out tasks. Occupational therapists design and deliver intervention programs to address these difficulties.
