Occupational Therapy and Autism Ranking:

Audience

According to NHS Health Education England (201?), occupational therapists work with people who have difficulties carrying out everyday activities because of disability, illness, trauma, ageing, and a range of long term conditions.

Occupational therapists “...assess and treat people of all ages and situations with a range of conditions. For example, helping:

• someone adapt to life after major surgery such as a hip replacement
• children with disabilities take part in school and play activities
• dementia sufferers develop strategies
• stroke patients
• people suffering from mental illness get back into everyday activities such as work or volunteering
• elderly people stay in their own homes by providing adaptation such as level access showers or stairlifts”
