Hello! Welcome to this new adventure. I’m Joelle, a registered and licensed occupational therapist (OTR/L). As occupational therapists, we specialize in Occupational Balance. What is occupational balance? This is a relative state, recognizable by a happy or pleasant integration of life activities and demands. According to the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), there are six occupations.
- Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
- Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)
- Rest & Sleep
- Education
- Work
- Play
It’s important that we always take care of ourselves and learn to balance all occupations equally. While I’ve previously worked primarily with children, as adults it is important to also maintain occupational balance in our daily lives. So join me on this new venture! If you have any questions, please comment below.
Stay Well with Joelle
