Occupational therapist

An occupational therapist helps people regain or build the skills needed for everyday life and work after injury, illness, disability, or developmental challenges. The work means assessing how someone functions in real settings and adapting tasks, environments, and equipment — from dressing and cooking to returning to a job.

The role is practical, creative, and deeply individualised, working closely with patients and families. AI can suggest interventions, but hands-on functional assessment and the personalised, in-person rehabilitation it requires keep it human.
