Occupational therapy is a unique, diverse, and gratifying
line of work. There are few fields that
operate in such wide-ranging contexts as well as celebrate ideologies based on
a person’s milieu, belief system, and ambitions (Hinojosa & Blount, 2009). The occupational therapy practitioner’s commitment
to provide instruction and education in activities of daily living, work, and
leisure pursuits transcends the mechanisms by which treatment is provided. Increasing strength, endurance, and making environmental
adaptations are certainly core components to occupational therapy; however,
ensuring that an individual is provided the opportunity have a life that is
meaningful to them is the occupational therapy practitioner’s primary
responsibility.
