Occupational Adaptation

Occupational Adaptation is a theory that explains how people adjust to changes in their work and daily activities. It emphasizes the dynamic process of adapting to challenges and finding new ways to engage in meaningful tasks, especially during stressful situations or when dealing with new environments. The idea is that individuals can learn and grow by navigating these challenges, leading to improved skills and enhanced functioning in their roles. This concept is particularly relevant in occupational therapy, where helping people adapt can promote independence and a better quality of life.
