An occupational therapist is a professional who helps people improve their daily living skills and quality of life, especially if they are experiencing difficulties due to physical, mental or emotional challenges. The main duties and responsibilities of an occupational therapist include:
- Skills assessment: Occupational therapists conduct comprehensive assessments to evaluate the abilities, limitations and needs of their clients. This may include motor skills, cognitive functioning and social interactions.
- Treatment planning: Based on the assessments, occupational therapists create individualised treatment plans that are tailored to the client’s specific needs and goals.
- Therapeutic interventions: They use a variety of therapeutic approaches to promote their clients’ independence and abilities. This can be done through targeted exercises, activities of daily living (ADLs) and other therapeutic techniques.
- Adaptation of environments: Occupational therapists help adapt living or working environments to remove barriers and improve safety and accessibility. This may include recommending assistive devices or modifications to the space.
- Training: They train clients and their relatives in the use of assistive devices and strategies for coping with everyday challenges.
- Promoting independence: Occupational therapists work to promote their clients’ independence in activities of daily living such as eating, dressing, personal hygiene and household activities.
- Rehabilitation after injuries: They assist clients with rehabilitation after injury or surgery to restore functionality and quality of life.
- Therapy for children: Occupational therapists who work with children help them to develop their motor skills, sensory skills and social skills to cope better in school and everyday life.
- Psychosocial support: Occupational therapists provide support for clients with mental illness or emotional challenges to improve their coping skills and social interactions.
- Documentation: They keep records of client progress, therapy sessions conducted and outcomes achieved to document the therapy process.
