Programme overview

Occupational therapy appeals to people who enjoy thinking creatively and flexibly to solve problems, and who seek to help people across the lifespan participate in activities that are important in their daily lives. These life activities (occupations) span the areas of self-care, sleep, work, education, play, leisure, and social participation. Occupational therapists provide services to people, organizations, and populations with the goal of promoting health, well-being, and full participation in society.
