what exactly does christina do??

Self-proclaimed definition of an occupational therapist
by chrissy darrigan

Occupational therapy,
What is that you say?
Is it related to finding others work?
And is physio the same?

The truth is it is neither,
But you can find us everywhere.
In hospitals, schools, or community centres.
There’s no limit to where we care.

We work with people with physical disabilities,
And mental health issues too.
We work with those who have been injured
Neglected, or abused.

With babies, and young children,
Middle aged and older folks,
No matter where one is in the life span
We may be able to provide some help

An occupation is not just a job
But refers to all meaningful things you do
It could be dining, studying or leisure,
It’s really up to you

There activities that you complete
Out of desire, need or expectation
That you would surely miss,
If unable to do them for one or more reasons

So when one needs to re-learn an activity
Or have one changed to meet present needs
Acquire some new skills
Or home adaptations that will please

Occupational therapists are present
Focused on the goals you would like to achieve
We’ll listen to your stories
Our targeted outcomes are your dreams


isn't our little poo a talented little one???
