Occupational therapists also focus much of their work on identifying and eliminating environmental barriers to independence and participation in daily activities.

Occupational therapists work with clients of all ages, ranging from infants to the elderly.

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 therapists often work closely with professionals in physical therapy, speech therapy, nursing, social work, and the community.
