OPSEU local 101 is proud to celebrate Occupational Therapy Day and our team of dedicated Occupational Therapists.
- university educated professionals that apply their specialized knowledge and skills to recommend a course of preventive or corrective action that will help people lead more productive and satisfying lives,
- trained to understand not only the medical and physical limitations of a disability or injury, but also the psychosocial factors that affect the functioning of the whole person – their health and their wellness, and
- a regulated medical profession; occupational therapists must be registered with their provincial regulator in order to practice legally in Canada.
Occupational therapists work in a variety of settings including: home and community, institutions (including hospitals), industry, business and government.
