Occupational therapists work together with people who have a limited ability to carry out everyday activities because of illness, injury or disability. Occupational therapists help people live independently. They help clients meet goals to develop, recover, improve, and maintain skills needed for daily living, such as getting dressed, making a meal, using the toilet, moving around and much more.
