Occupational therapy is the use of treatments to develop, recover, or maintain the daily living and work skills of people with a physical, mental or developmental condition. Occupational therapy is a client-centred practice that places a premium on the progress towards the clients goals. Occupational therapy interventions focus on adapting the environment, modifying the task, teaching the skill, and educating the client/family in order to increase participation in and performance of daily activities, particularly those that are meaningful to the client. Occupational therapist- Mr: Nandana Welage has been interviewed by SBS Sinhalese program for Occupational Therapy Week ( 20 - 26 Oct:)
