Occupational therapy (OT) is the use of evaluation and intervention to help people, organisations, and communities create, heal, or sustain functional tasks or occupations. Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants practise this allied health specialty (OTA). Occupational therapists (OTs) often work with people who have mental health issues, disabilities, accidents, or impairments.
The American Occupational Therapy Association defines an occupational therapist as someone who “helps people across their lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, injury rehabilitation, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes.”
This is the biggest reason Occupational Therapy is beneficial. People want to take care of themselves. They want to be able to complete personal tasks, such as bathing, dressing, and going to the bathroom with as little assist as possible.
Cerebral palsy happens when there’s damage to brain areas that control muscle movement, or when those areas don’t develop as they should. It’s a main cause of childhood disability. The symptoms and effects vary widely, and so do the treatments. But medical and technological advances mean that people with this condition are living longer, fuller lives.
Many children with an ADHD diagnosis find the demands of writing challenging. Successful writing relies upon skills on several different levels, such as the ability to hold the content of what you are writing in your working memory, sustaining focus and remembering the range of vocabulary that you have without losing sight of the overall purpose or objective of the piece of writing. Another example would be deciding how to structure a written piece and decide upon which points go into which paragraphs and in what order. When we really think about the demands of writing, we can clearly see how a child or young person with ADHD might find the whole process very daunting and might avoid writing.
