Occupational Therapists (OTs) work with people of all ages, helping them to carry out the activities that they need or want to do in order to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. OTs work to break down the barriers holding individuals back from carrying out their day to day activities by not only looking at the physical effects of ageing, injury or disease but also address the psychosocial, community and environmental factors that influence functional ability.

Occupational therapists will work with you to identify areas of concern by assessing a combination of the following; physical function (strength, coordination and balance), cognition (memory, organizational skills and coping strategies), identifying support networks and analyzing your environment (home, work/school and community). OTs help clients establish goals and find solutions to problems in order to maximize independence in all aspects of daily life
