Occupational therapists believe that occupations (activities) describe who you are and how you feel about yourself.
If you are unable to do the things you want, or need to do, to live and enjoy your life, your general well-being may be affected.
Occupational therapy (OT) helps to solve the problems that interfere with your ability to do the things that are important to you. It can also prevent a problem or minimize its effects.
When an injury, illness, disability or other problem limits your ability to take care of yourself, participate in paid or unpaid work, or enjoy your leisure time, e.g. hobbies, sports, spending time with family, then you may want to learn some new skills for the job of living from an occupational therapist.
The Government of New Brunswick is making Zoom for Healthcare available to all regulated health care professionals working in the province of New Brunswick to assist with the provision of online client assessment and treatment during the pandemic. Please see the attached letter and presentation describing the system and the process. NBAOT would like to thank the government in assisting occupational therapists in carrying out safe quality care to clients during this uncertain time.
Just a note that the NBAOT registrar was informed by the GNB Allied Health liaison that Public Health will be in touch with the associations regarding vaccines for private practitioners.
