DEFINITION AND PURPOSE

Occupational Therapy is acknowledged by the medical profession as an essential part of healthcare provision. 
It is the use of specific selected activities for the distinct purpose of helping people with physical and 
psychiatric conditions to reach their maximum level of function and independence in all aspects of their daily
 living or the maintenance of function when complete recovery is not possible. Unlike other types of therapy, 
occupational therapy takes a holistic approach and deals with the whole person rather than focusing on one
problem.

-esteem and self-confidence  that will enable them perform their normal functions in the society within the limits 
of their disability.

Occupational Therapy as a field of study prepares students to work with patients who are injured or disabled, and 
provide the students with advanced skills and training to formulate the rehabilitation programs and help patients 
recover. The field of occupational therapy is a growing healthcare field, and students completing occupational 
therapy degree program can enjoy lucrative and rewarding career opportunities throughout their lifetime.
