What Do Occupational Therapy Practitioners Do?
In the previous chapter, we explored the core of occupational therapy. Now, let's take a closer look at the roles and duties of occupational therapy practitioners, the heart and soul of this field. Occupational therapy practitioners, often known as OTs or COTAs (Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants), play a pivotal role in helping people of all ages regain and improve their ability to perform everyday activities. OTs and COTAs work closely with clients to understand their unique needs and goals. They craft personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's distinct situation. These plans may include exercises, adaptive methods, and strategies to enhance physical, cognitive, or emotional well-being.
