Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession that helps people of all ages regain, develop, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and working activities after injury, illness, disability, or developmental delay. Occupational therapists design personalized interventions involving adaptive equipment, exercises, and environmental modifications, working in hospitals, schools, rehabilitation centers, and home settings. The field requires a graduate degree and licensure, and attracts people interested in helping others regain independence.
