Course details
Occupational therapists recognise that being able to perform meaningful, everyday activities is crucial to people’s health and wellbeing.
Physical and mental illness, impairment and ageing can turn these occupations into challenges that reduce independence and undermine people’s identity.
Working in different roles and settings, occupational therapists use activity therapeutically, supporting clients to recover valued occupations and, in turn, regain their independence and health.
