(OTs) can be found in a wide range of settings, each with unique challenges and opportunities. Here are some of the common settings where OTs make a significant impact: HOSPITALS: In hospital settings, OTs assist patients recovering from surgeries, injuries, or illnesses. They focus on helping individuals regain their independence in daily activities like dressing, feeding, and mobility. REHABILITATION CENTERS: Rehab centers provide intensive therapy for individuals recovering from major injuries or strokes.
