Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy (OT) is a person-centred healthcare profession focused on enabling individuals to participate in meaningful activities or “occupations” that are essential to their daily lives. These activities may include self care (e.g. dressing, eating), work or education, leisure, and social participation.
Therapy Assistance
A therapy assistant is a professional who works under the guidance of a therapist to help implement treatment plans. They play a supportive role in delivering care to clients, ensuring consistency and quality in therapy sessions.
Key responsibilities may include:
- Assisting with activities or interventions prescribed by the therapist
- Monitoring the individual’s progress and reporting back to the therapist
- Encouraging and motivating individuals during therapy sessions.
Therapy assistants are an integral part of the healthcare team, helping individuals to achieve their goals while freeing up therapists to focus on assessment and treatment planning.
