More about Occupational Therapy
The fundamental purpose of occupational therapy is to develop and maintain a person's capacity, throughout life, to perform day-to-day tasks and roles essential to productive living, including self-care, daily living, leisure and work.
Occupational Therapists work with people with a range of conditions, including those who have physical disabilities, mental or social problems either from birth or as the result of accident, illness or ageing. The therapist will work with a person to design a treatment programme based on the individual's unique lifestyle and preferences. Therapy usually involves carefully designed activities and processes or sometimes, even includes modifications to the environmental surroundings of the person.
A registrable qualification in occupational therapy with the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC) will be required for practise in Singapore.
