Occupational Therapy, often abbreviated OT, is the "use of productive or creative activity in the treatment or rehabilitation of physically, cognitively, or emotionally disabled people" (American Heritage Dictionary) A more technical definition is: the use of meaningful occupation to assist people who have difficulty in achieving a healthy and balanced lifestyle and to enable an inclusive society so that all people can participate to their potential in daily occupations of life.
Pediatric occupational therapy is the exact same thing, except with kids who are physically disabled or need some form of rehabilitation.
