It is a therapy based on engagement in meaningful activities of daily life (such as self-care skills, education, hobbies, social interaction or anything we do during the day) especially to enable or encourage participation in such activities despite impairments or limitations in physical and/or intellectual functioning.
Children's everyday activities include playing, learning, and socializing.
Children with specific challenges often need occupational therapy. Therapist work with children with autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), physical disabilities, sensory processing issues, and more.
The short answer is: occupations are what we do each and every day, all day long!
