Occupational Therapy Occupational Therapy: What is Occupational Therapy? Occupational Therapy focuses on the patients ability to move, manage self care tasks (such as writing, bathing, etc.) and do logical tasks. Occupational Therapists role is to assess the ability of the patient and work with them to achieve skills and difficulties they may experience due to injury or a mental or physical disability. When working with Children Occupation therapists concentrate on the development of the child's fine motor skills and hand eye coordination. Occupational Therapy allows people to participate in everyday activities such us their occupation. Occupational Therapist have one on one appointments with patient along with group appointments to allow the child/patient to adjust to different learning and physical environments. This allows the patient to gather self-esteem and be independent when completing tasks. OT's use different methods of work and play to either fit the patients ability or to challenge them to set goals and new standards. Occupational Therapists continue to push the patient along to prove that they can do and participate in activities. When Occupational Therapists work with younger children below the age of one they focus on the baby's posture, reach, grasp and release and compare them to the average results of children the same age. This is used so that the OT knows how much the child as to work for and what they have to achieve. Occupational Therapists work really hard to help and encourage patients.
