Occupational therapy practitioners analyze how an individual's cognition affects their ability to do the things they want and need to do and collaborate with clients to design individually-tailored interventions using ADLs and (IADLs) that are meaningful to the client and provide direct application of functional skills.
Rest and sleep is a foundational occupation in the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, 4th edition. Occupational therapy practitioners can help clients, groups, and communities to manage and develop healthy and effective routines and habits to promote sleep.
Occupational therapy practitioners work with clients who may be or who are experiencing pain. Services are often provided in multi-disciplinary teams, where clients can benefit from the team approach.
