Occupational Therapy, often abbreviated as "OT", incorporates meaningful and purposeful occupation to enable people with limitations or impairments to participate in everyday life. We work with individuals, families, groups and populations to facilitate health and well-being through engagement or re-engagement in occupation. We are becoming increasingly involved in addressing the impact of social and environmental factors that contribute to exclusion and occupational deprivation. The World Federation of Occupational Therapists defines occupational therapy as a profession concerned with promoting health and well-being through occupation. Our primary goal is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. We achieve this outcome by enhancing the individual's ability to participate, by modifying the environment, or by adapting the activity to better support participation. Another way of thinking about the ideas contained in these definitions could be: occupational therapy is about understanding the importance of an activity to an individual, being able to analyze the physical, mental and social components of the activity and then adapting the activity, the environment and/or the person to enable them to resume the activity. Our therapy therapy gives people the "skills for the job of living" necessary for "living life to its fullest

Areas of practice in occupational therapy
There are many areas of practice in occupational therapy which have often been divided into Physical Health and Mental Health. The division is not so clear as occupational therapists consider the physical, mental and social well-being of all clients in every setting. These divisions occur when the setting is defined by the population it serves for example acute physical or mental health settings (e.g.: hospitals), sub-acute settings (e.g.: aged care facilities), outpatient clinics and community settings.
