Occupational therapy is a vital branch of healthcare science that specializes in the rehabilitation and empowerment of individuals with physical, emotional, or mental disabilities.
This holistic approach focuses on:
1. Environmental adaptation: Modifying surroundings to facilitate independence and accessibility.
2. Skill development: Educating individuals in essential skills for daily living, promoting autonomy and confidence.
By bridging the gap between ability and disability, occupational therapy enhances the quality of life for individuals, enabling them to participate fully in their daily activities and communities.
