    An occupational therapist helps individuals of all ages regain, develop, or maintain skills needed for daily living and work. They work with people facing physical, mental, or developmental challenges due to injuries, illnesses, or disabilities. By using therapeutic techniques, adaptive tools, and personalized treatment plans, they assist patients in improving their ability to perform tasks like dressing, cooking, or returning to their jobs.

    Occupational therapists also modify environments and educate families to create supportive settings that enhance independence and quality of life.
