Occupational therapists (OTs).
Briefly: OTs help people with impairments or disabilities regain, develop, or maintain the skills needed for activities of daily living (self-care, work, leisure). They work in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, nursing homes, and community settings and can specialize (e.g., pediatrics, hand therapy, geriatrics, work/sports rehabilitation). Education typically includes a bachelor’s plus a master’s or an entry-level doctoral degree (requirements vary by country), and OTs must pass certification and obtain state licensure to practice.
