The goal is to enable children to participate as fully as possible in the activities of everyday life, and to support children in continuing to grow and develop skills that support lifelong occupational engagement.
Occupational therapists apply knowledge and skills to assess, collaborate with, empower, and enable clients to:
- learn new ways of doing activities
- develop or regain skills
- use devices, materials and equipment to make life easier
- adapt their environment
- maximize their independence across their lifespan
