Occupational therapists
What does an Occupational Therapist do?
Occupational therapy can help when someone is having difficulty with everyday tasks (the tasks that ‘occupy’ them). An occupational therapist (also known as an ‘OT’) can identify your strengths and any difficulties. An OT can help you maintain, regain or improve your independence. Your OT may suggest different techniques, changing your environment or using new equipment to help you achieve your goals.
OTs work with people of any age, including children and older people, to help them do things that ‘occupy’ their time.
These can include:
- looking after yourself (self-care)
- work or school
- social activities
- hobbies
- being part of your community

- Autism Spectrum Disorder
