    About

    Occupational therapy is a science-driven, evidence-based profession that enables people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health and prevent—or live better with—illness, injury or disability. Practitioners must complete supervised clinical internships in a variety of health care settings, and pass a national examination. Most states also regulate occupational therapy practice. In today's health care and social landscape, occupational therapy practitioners can be found in the six broad areas of practice. For more information, see the fact sheets and articles that illustrate occupational therapy in action.
