Who are occupational therapists and what do they do? Occupational therapists use meaningful activities to help children and youth participate in what they need and or want to do in order to promote physical and mental well-being. They focus on participation in the following areas: education, play and leisure, social situations, activities of daily living (ADLS; e.g., eating, dressing, hygiene), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLS; e.g., meal preparation, shopping) sleep, rest, and work.
Outpatient therapy services include individual and family therapy provided by trained professionals with a Master’s degree in professional counseling or clinical social work.
