Occupational therapists use meaningful occupations to help people regain, improve or maintain abilities or skills. They help clients and their families learn new ways of doing things and build on their strengths and abilities.  They help adapt the environment to increase access to occupations and reduce the risk of injury.

Occupational therapy is covered by Manitoba Health Insurance when it is provided through the hospital system, or through other government-funded health agencies.  You may also have occupational therapy coverage through your health insurance at work.  If you are not covered by any health insurance, you can still hire an occupational therapist on a fee-for-service basis (though as with most private business, the cost varies according to the service and provider).
