Code 001: What Is Occupational Therapy, Actually?

You can explain the diagnosis. You can name the muscles. You can describe the task. But do you actually understand what makes occupational therapy occupational therapy? In Code 001, Dr. L breaks down the concept sitting underneath the entire profession: occupation as meaningful, purposeful, identity-forming human activity, and why simply helping someone complete a task is not the same thing as thinking like an OT.From the difference between task-based and occupation-based thinking to the post-stroke morning routine that captures the profession in one story, this episode is about building your OT professional identity before fieldwork forces you to figure it out by accident. If you are a Pre-OT student, current OT student, or someone who has ever struggled to explain what OT actually does, start here.
