What is Occupational Therapy?

“If you tell me, I forget. 
         If you show me, I see. 
                If you involve me, I understand”

Think of an activity in your life that is important to you.  Now try to imagine life without the ability to perform that activity easily. The activity you chose is one of your life’s ‘occupations’. 
An occupational therapist uses these purposeful activities and meaningful occupations to help individuals develop “skills for the job of living”. Goal directed activities, specific to each person’s age and social roles are utilized to develop confidence and maximize functioning necessary for independence.

“Man, through the use of his hands as they are energized by his mind and will,
can influence the state of his own health”                                                  Mary Reilly 1962
