Students can overcome difficulties at school with the guidance of an OT. OTs help students develop behavioural or social skills, handwriting and organizational skills. OTs can also work with teachers, make changes to the school environment, and introduce assistive technology to make school a better place for learning.

Recover in a
Hospital/Clinic
OTs play an important role in health care teams. They provide rehabilitation and prepare you for the move from hospital to home, especially if your illness or injury has left you unable to look after yourself and do the things you usually do each day.

Participate in the
Community
Enjoying everything the community has to offer can be a challenge for those with limitations. OTs address accessibility and mobility, help people drive again, and support people with mental illness to enjoy life at home and in the community.
