Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/occupational-therapist

Occupational therapists help patients recovering from injury, illness, or disability regain the skills needed for daily living and work, starting with a detailed patient assessment and progressing through a customized treatment plan. They apply rehabilitation therapy techniques—ranging from adaptive equipment training to fine motor exercises—in hospitals, clinics, schools, and home health settings, documenting progress in electronic health records. A strong emphasis on patient education helps clients and families carry over strategies into everyday routines.
