Occupational therapy is a science-driven, evidence-based profession that enables people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health and prevent—or live better with—illness, injury or disability.
"..The art and science of directing
man's participation in selected tasks to restore, reinforce, and enhance
performance, facilitate learning of those skills and functions that are
essential for adaptation and productivity, diminish or correct pathology,
and to promote and maintain health. Its fundamental concern is the
development and maintenance of capacity throughout the life span, to
perform with satisfaction to self and others. Those tasks and roles
essential to productive living and to the mastery of self and
environment."
