Summary of What to expect from your occupational therapist
Occupational therapists work with individuals of all ages and abilities to help them improve their daily functioning and independence. They assist in learning new ways of doing things, regaining skills, using equipment for ease, and adapting environments. Occupational therapists work with those facing challenges due to disabilities, accidents, diseases, mental health issues, or aging. They can be found in various settings such as hospitals, mental health facilities, schools, and the community. When working with an occupational therapist, individuals can expect safe, ethical, and quality care from a licensed professional. They will receive all necessary information to make informed decisions, be treated with respect and dignity, have their human rights upheld, and have their questions answered. Occupational therapists support personal and cultural practices and work collaboratively with clients to achieve their goals.
