 OT is a therapy for your job or to help you find a job
 OT is only for the disabled population
 Occupational and Physical Therapy are the same thing
COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS OF OT
 Occupation: “everyday activity”
 “In its simplest terms, occupational
therapists and occupational therapy
assistants help people across the
lifespan participate in the things they
want and need to do through the
therapeutic use of everyday activities
(occupations)”(AOTA, 2014)
 “Occupational therapy practitioners help
people live life to its fullest- no matter
what. They provide practical solutions for
success in everyday living and help
people alter how they arrange their daily
activities to maximize
function, vitality, and productivity” -
Florence Clark
