Occupational Therapy

A profession that involves using occupations for bettering health. Occupations are considered anything that someone likes to do or has to do, ranging from hobbies to
self-care. It is believed that doing things, increasing one's independence and sense of self-worth, promotes health and will help people rehabilitating from a disease or illness, as well as those living with chronic medical conditions. Becoming an
Occupational Therapist in the United States recently moved to an
entry-level master's degree.
Example:
1. My grandmother broke her hip and the
occupational therapist helped her learn to transfer and take care of herself to continue living at home as it healed.
2. A child receives
occupational therapy because he has trouble paying attention and sitting still and they work on how he can better succeed as a student.
3. An occupational therapist was referred to me after I lost two my fingers in a
boating accident to help me regain functional use of my hand.
Occupational Slumming
by Johnny Z. Styles on May 29, 2010 02:03:46
Taking a job that is beneath a person's education or skill level as a means of
retreat from adult responsibilities and/or
avoiding possible failure in one's true
occupation.
Example:
Although he was trained to be an
architect, Hank took a job at Burger King instead because he didn't believe he'd be able to design a building that anyone would be interested in financing. His parents were disappointed by
Hank's obvious
occupational slumming.
