What is an OT?
Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants work with people experiencing different medical conditions and/or disabilities to develop, improve, restore functional, or maintain daily living skills. Occupational therapy is a science-driven, evidence-based profession.
Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 2003 Definition:
Occupational therapy is therapy based on performing the meaningful
activities of daily life (self-care skills, education, work, or social
interaction), especially to enable or enhance participation in such
activities despite impairments or limitations in physical or mental
functioning.
