Occupational Therapy Month is celebrated during the month of April each year. During this time, the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) celebrates the more than 200,000 occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants and students who work across the country.
According to a news release from Holzer Health System, occupational therapy helps people of all ages be able to do the things they want and need through therapeutic use of daily activities. Occupational therapy practitioners have a holistic perspective, in which the focus is on adapting the environment and/or task to fit the person.
