October 27th is World Occupational Therapy Day!
OTs make a difference in the lives of many today, here in Canada and around the world.
Occupational Therapists help people improve their function in their daily lives. Occupational therapy is a type of health care that helps to solve the problems that interfere with a person’s ability to do the things that are important to them – everyday things like:
- Self-care – getting dressed, eating, moving around the house,
- Being productive – going to work or school, participating in the community, and
- Leisure activities – sports, gardening, social activities.
Occupational therapy is a regulated profession in Canada. All of our occupational therapists at OT Works! are registered with the College of Occupational Therapists of British Columbia (COTBC)
.
At OT Works, this month we celebrate our team and the difference OTs make to their clients!
World Occupational Therapy Day – October 27th – Reimagine Doing
