All human beings engage in occupation which may be considered as work. Leisure or self care. The main concern of occupational therapist is to enable or encourage individuals to carry out a balance of occupations in these areas. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to have an understanding of why occupations are chosen by individuals and how the requisite skills (tasks and activities) are developed, maintained and modified to allow participation in meaningful occupations. Occupational Therapist uses a means to an end, i.e. developing skills in ones occupation which can transfer to other occupations.
