Occupational Therapy is a regulated health profession in Alberta.
To use the title of Occupational Therapist or OT in Alberta, one needs to have met all the educational, continuing competence and other registration requirements needed to be in good standing with the Alberta College of Occupational Therapists (ACOT).
Once you locate an OT through the search tool, it is highly recommended that you use the College’s public directory to ensure that the OT you are looking to hire is currently entitled to practice.
An OT considers the individual’s goals, abilities and challenges and works together with the individual, family and/or other care providers to support functional concerns related, but not limited to:
- Self-care: eating, sleeping, dressing, developmental transitions, home management, driving;
- Productivity: play, learning, work, retraining and transitions;
- Leisure: play, recreation, hobbies, socializing and sports.
