Occupational Therapy (OT) is a regulated health profession that empowers people of all ages to overcome barriers in their everyday lives, helping them to do more and live better. Each October, Occupational Therapy Month raises awareness about the purpose of Occupational Therapy and provides an opportunity to share resources with students and families.
Students can overcome various difficulties at school with the guidance of an Occupational Therapist. OTs explore the underlying “why” and help students build on their strengths in order to achieve their goals. OTs can also collaborate with teachers, suggest changes to the school environment, and introduce tools to make school a better place for learning and promote mental health and well-being.
