What is O.T


Occupational Therapy is "The therapeutic use of work, self-care, and play activities to increase development and prevent disability. It may include adaptation of task or environment to achieve maximum independence and to enhance the quality of life." 
AOTA,1976


One's occupation can therefore be defined as the way in which we occupy our time. Thus, our time is divided into three categories of activities in which we take part daily: 


Self-Care: sleeping, eating, grooming, dressing, and toileting 
Work: effort that is exerted to do or make something, or perform a task 
Leisure: free, unoccupied time in which one chooses to do something they enjoy
