Occupational Therapy focuses on supporting human wellness and participation in life through engagement in activities. An occupational therapist’s knowledge is thus grounded in die science of activity. All activities (play, training, work, recreation, and interpersonal relations) in which a person participates in daily life will fall within the scope of the occupational therapist. An occupational therapist treats a client or group according to their individual and unique needs by means of activities that can be therapeutically adapted and graded through specific techniques, as well as therapeutic apparatus, splints, and assistive devices. The context and environment in which people function is an important part of the occupational therapist’s evaluation and intervention.
