Occupational activities are some of the most powerful tools in rehabilitation and for compensating for occupational dysfunction. For many years, occupational therapy has been used as a method of recuperating and improving both cognitive and physical skills. Its ultimate goal is to help individuals regain the greatest degree of independence possible when carrying out activities in daily life, as well as to help them stay healthy by taking their surroundings and interests into account.

DDF are pleased to present Foundations of Occupational Therapy, designed for anyone, whether a health professional or not, who would like to start out in the field by acquiring the fundamental concepts of occupational therapy, like methods of analysing activities and the key tools and techniques of the practice.
