What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy is a health care profession designed to help individuals develop or maintain the physical, cognitive or social skills necessary to meet the demands of daily life. Occupational therapy helps people lead more productive, satisfying, and independent lives. Occupational Therapists’ unique training includes knowledge about medical, physical, cognitive, and psychosocial limitations, as well as how environmental conditions and activity demands impact people.
Occupational Therapists are University trained professionals. The education requirements vary slightly from province to province. In Manitoba, the current designation is a Master of Occupational Therapy degree (MOT).
