Occupational Science

Occupational Science is the study of how people engage in meaningful activities—called occupations—such as work, leisure, self-care, and social interactions. It explores how these activities influence health, well-being, and quality of life. By understanding the factors that affect people’s ability to participate in daily activities, Occupational Science aims to improve interventions, support recovery, and promote independence across diverse populations. Essentially, it bridges health sciences and human activity, helping individuals live fulfilling, balanced lives through a deeper understanding of what people do and why it matters.
