The fundamental purpose of occupational therapy is the development and maintenance of a person’s capacity throughout life to perform those tasks and roles essential to productive living. As an Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA), an individual will provide services to those impaired by physical illness, psychosocial disability, developmental deficits, and aging. Through occupational therapy intervention, clients are returned to their maximum level of independence, mastering life skills that include: self-care, home management, leisure, and work.
