Occupational Therapy approaches

After identifying the difficulties a person has with everyday tasks/occupations, an occupational therapist can help by either:
  • ​practising the activity in manageable stages,
  • suggesting a different way to complete the activity,
  • recommending environmental changes that will make the activity possible,
  • providing devices that make the activity easier.
