Occupational therapists have an important role in working with clients to help them achieve independent function, when they have a physical, neurocognitive or mental impairment. Today, we’ll zoom into one aspect of occupational therapy: helping clients to transition to independent living at home.

Zaheer Firdaus Zakaria, Tutor and Clinical Instructor in Occupational Therapy, joins us to answer these questions.
