The studies in occupational therapy begins with the premise that a meaningful life is only possible with the ability to participate in an “occupation.” This is why this discipline is called occupational therapy, which assess a variety of factors of the patient/client that affect their participation in a meaningful activity (e.g., the degree of damage and disability, active areas, degree of performance, environment and background of that performance) and intervene these factors for the patient to participate in that occupation. In the end, an occupational therapist ensures the healthy, functional, meaningful and happy life of the patient/client. As such, the original charm of occupational therapy is the respect for humandignityandqualityoflifebeyondthephysicalbody.
