What do Occupational Therapists do?
An occupational therapist is a person who has graduated from an entry-level occupational therapy program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) or predecessor organizations, or approved by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT), or an equivalent international occupational therapy education program; has completed a period of supervised fieldwork experience required by the occupational therapy program; has passed a nationally recognized entry-level examination for occupational therapists, and fulfills state requirements for licensure, certification, or registration.
An occupational therapist provides interventions based on evaluation, emphasizing the therapeutic use of everyday life activities (i.e., occupations) with individuals or groups to facilitate participation in roles and situations across various settings, including home, school, workplace, community, and other environments.
Occupational therapy services are provided to promote health and wellness for individuals who have or are at risk of developing an illness, injury, disease, disorder, condition, impairment, disability, activity limitation, or participation restriction.
Occupational therapists address the physical, cognitive, psychosocial, sensory, and other aspects of occupational performance in various contexts to support engagement in everyday life activities that impact health, well-being, and quality of life.
Driving and Community Mobility Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XR0403X
Occupational therapists can optimize and prolong an older driver’s ability to drive safely and ease the transition to other forms of transportation if driving cessation becomes necessary.
By identifying strengths as well as physical or cognitive challenges, occupational therapists can evaluate an individual’s overall ability to operate a vehicle safely and recommend assistive devices or behavioral changes to limit risks.
Occupational therapy practitioners offer a continuum of services related to community mobility, from evaluating driving performance, through counseling and supporting lifestyle changes, to maintaining independence and quality of life.
Environmental Modification Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XE0001X
Occupational therapy practitioners are experts at identifying the cause of difficulties in the performance of activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living.
Occupational therapy practitioners evaluate the client, their environment, and their occupational performance within that environment.
They make recommendations for products to improve the fit between the client, place, and activity.
Occupational therapists can evaluate both the client’s skills and the environmental features that support or limit the performance of meaningful or necessary activities, thereby enhancing health, safety, and well-being.
Based on this assessment, they recommend modification and intervention strategies to improve the fit between the person and their environment.
Ergonomics Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XE1200X
Ergonomics Occupational Therapists (OTs) assess and modify workplaces to prevent injuries and improve employee health, productivity, and comfort.
They do this by evaluating workstations, identifying risks, recommending ergonomic adjustments to equipment, and educating employees on proper posture and safe work habits.
OTs also work with individuals on their specific needs, such as those returning to work after an injury.
Feeding, Eating & Swallowing Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XF0002X
Occupational therapists provide interventions to clients of all ages with feeding, eating, and swallowing difficulties.
Occupational therapists provide comprehensive rehabilitative, habilitative, and palliative dysphagia care, which includes collaborating with clients to provide individualized compensatory swallowing strategies, modified diet textures, adapted mealtime environments, enhanced feeding skills, preparatory exercises and positioning to clients, reinforcement of mealtime strategies to strengthen and improve swallowing skills, and training to caregivers to enhance eating and feeding performance.
Occupational therapists provide screening and in-depth clinical assessment, which may include instrumental dysphagia assessments, including videofluroscopy.
Gerontology Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XG0600X
Occupational therapists work with older adults in virtually every setting: assisted living, wellness programs, hospitals, nursing homes, senior centers, clinics, and in the home.
Occupational therapists bring an understanding of the importance of participation and occupation for overall well-being to those who are experiencing disabling conditions related to aging.
The primary overarching goal of occupational therapy services with this population is to maximize independence and participation, thereby enabling an older person to continue to live successfully in his or her chosen environment.
Occupational therapists can assist older adults by developing strategies to maintain safety and well-being, support life transitions, and address challenges in activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, leisure participation, social participation, and productive activities.
Hand Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XH1200X
Hand occupational therapists, also known as certified hand therapists (CHTs), rehabilitate injuries and conditions of the hand and upper limb to restore function, reduce pain, and improve daily life.
They use a variety of treatments, including customized orthotics (splints), exercise programs, pain and swelling management, and scar care, to help patients regain strength and movement for everyday tasks like writing, typing, or sports.
They also provide training for healthier work habits and consult with industrial settings.
Human Factors Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XH1300X
Human Factors Occupational Therapists (OTs) apply principles from human factors to improve a person’s ability to function in daily life and work, focusing on the interaction between people, technology, and their environment.
They identify and address challenges that impact performance, safety, and well-being by recommending modifications to workspaces, tasks, or the design of products and equipment.
This can include designing tools or home environments for better ergonomics, helping employees adapt to new roles, or making technology more user-friendly to prevent injury and boost productivity.
Low Vision Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XL0004X
Occupational therapists enable children and adults with visual impairment to engage in their chosen daily living activities safely and as independently as possible.
This is accomplished by:
- (1) teaching the person to use their remaining vision as efficiently as possible to complete activities;
- (2) modifying activities so that they can be completed with less vision;
- (3) training the person in the use of adaptive equipment to compensate for vision loss, including high and low-technology assistive devices; and
- (4) modifying the person’s environment.
Mental Health Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XM0800X
Occupational therapists provide treatment for people recovering from a mental or physical illness to regain their independence and stability and to engage in regular daily occupations (work, home, family life, school, leisure).
Occupational therapists place particular emphasis on interventions that result in improved quality of life and decreased hospitalization.
Neurorehabilitation Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XN1300X
Neurorehabilitation Occupational Therapists help patients with neurological conditions (like stroke, brain injury, or Parkinson’s) regain independence in daily activities by improving cognitive, motor, and sensory functions.
They create personalized plans, teach new skills or strategies, and recommend adaptive equipment to help patients manage daily tasks, improve safety, and enhance their quality of life.
Pediatric Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XP0200X
Occupational therapists provide services to infants, toddlers, and children who have or who are at risk for developmental delays or disabilities.
Occupational therapy is concerned with a child’s ability to participate in daily life activities or “occupations.” Occupational therapists use their unique expertise to help children with social-emotional, physical, cognitive, communication, and adaptive behavioral challenges. They also assist children in preparing for and performing meaningful learning and school-related activities, helping them fulfill their role as students.
Through an understanding of the impact of disability, illness, and impairment on a child’s development, plan, ability to learn new skills, and overall occupational performance, occupational therapists design interventions that promote healthy growth, establish needed skills, and/or modify environments, all in support of participation in daily activities.
Physical Rehabilitation Occupational Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 225XP0019X
Occupational therapists are experts at helping people lead as independent a life as possible.
Occupational therapists bring an understanding of the physical and psychological implications of illness and injury and their effects on people’s ability to perform the tasks of daily living.
Occupational therapists provide interventions that can aid a person in completing ADL and IADL tasks, such as dressing, bathing, preparing meals, and driving.
They may also fabricate custom orthotics to improve function, evaluate the environment for safety hazards, and recommend adaptations to remove those hazards, help a person compensate for cognitive changes, and build a person’s physical endurance and strength.
Occupational therapists’ knowledge of adapting tasks and modifying the environment to compensate for functional limitations is used to increase the involvement of clients and to promote safety and success.
