Don't hesitate to ask you question Q: What is Occupational Therapy? A: Occupational therapy uses meaningful, functional activities that are common in daily life to enable people to live life as independently as possible, no matter what challenges, either physical, emotional, or environmental, they may face. In the schools, occupational therapists help children that may have physical, cognitive, or mental health challenges perform important school related activities. This may include social participation skills, writing skills, self help skills (such as eating, dressing and toilet habits), and pre-vocational skills. Furthermore, occupational therapists work with other educators to provide an optimal learning environment for students with diverse learning needs. This may include reducing barriers that limit student participate, utilize assistive technology to support student success, and help plan relevant instructional activities for ongoing implementation in the classroom.
