Occupational therapy

ja:作業療法zh:職能治療 Occupational Therapists work with the disabled, the elderly, newborns, school-aged children, and with anyone who has a permanent or temporary impairment in their physical or mental functioning. The aim of occupational therapy is to help the client to perform daily tasks in their living and working environments, and to assist them to develop the skills to live independent, satisfying, and productive lives. Interventions used by Occupational therapists to achieve greater independence by clients include rehabilitation of neuropsychological deficits (memory, attention, complex reasoning), motor function, sensory function (vision, perception of touch), interpersonal skills (e.g.social skills). The medium of treatment usually involves the use of purposeful activities, which have some meaning and relevance to clients' lifestyle (these are also called occupations and include routine behaviors associated with work, leisure and self care.) Another important area of intervention is by means of environmental manipulation to maximize ability (such as environments for wheelchair users) or afford the desired behaviors (e.g. set up the environment so that it contains cues to compensate for memory impairment). Occupational Therapists might work in a hospital, skilled nursing facility, school, outpatient clinic, or in the client's home as in home health. Some Occupational Therapists also conduct research to assess new techniques, rate the effectiveness of existing services and investigate other areas into which occupational therapy might be beneficial. Additionally, there are more non-traditional roles such as consulting on such topics as the Americans with Disabilities Act, home accessibility modificaion, or ergonomic assessment of work environments.
