Occupational therapy considers how health, abilities, environment and daily demands affect participation in meaningful activities. BrainLab provides this service virtually across Ontario.
Purpose
Occupational therapy focuses on the activities people need or want to do in everyday life. It considers the relationship between the person, the activity and the environment, with practical recommendations shaped by the concern being addressed.
What may be considered
Occupational therapy can consider areas such as:
Who may benefit
Occupational therapy may be useful when sensory, cognitive, motor, environmental or executive-functioning demands make everyday participation harder. The occupational therapist considers the person’s goals and context before recommending a service.
A distinct professional role
Psychotherapy focuses on emotional, relational and mental-health concerns through a therapeutic process. Occupational therapy focuses on participation in meaningful activities and the practical relationship between the person, task and environment. The services can be complementary, but one does not replace the other.
A tailored process
The inquiry identifies the activity, participation need or practical question to be considered.
The occupational therapist considers the person’s goals, routines, environment and applicable functional information.
The format depends on the service arranged and may include practical strategies or other occupational therapy recommendations.
Virtual delivery
Virtual delivery allows routines, environments and practical needs to be discussed from the setting in which they occur. We’ll let you know if the concern requires a different kind of service.

OT can help clarify barriers affecting routines, life skills, school, work, community participation, sensory demands and other meaningful activities, depending on the service arranged.
Children, adolescents or adults may benefit when health, abilities, environment or daily demands affect participation. An inquiry helps determine whether BrainLab’s virtual OT service fits the concern.
Yes. BrainLab provides this occupational therapy service virtually across Ontario.
The occupational therapist discusses the activity or participation concern, relevant routines and context, then considers practical strategies or recommendations suited to the service.
Sensory and executive-functioning demands may be considered when they affect daily activities. The purpose and limits of the service are confirmed before care begins.
