occupation-based practice

Occupation-based practice is a therapeutic approach where healthcare professionals focus on helping individuals engage in meaningful activities or occupations, such as daily routines, work, or hobbies. The goal is to support clients in participating fully in their usual roles and activities, which promotes independence, well-being, and a sense of purpose. Therapists assess personal interests, strengths, and challenges to tailor interventions that enable clients to resume or adapt activities important to their lives. This approach emphasizes real-world relevance, ensuring therapy work aligns with what matters most to each person.
