The overarching goal of occupational therapy is to support people's "health, well-being, and participation in life through engagement in occupation"; Work is one of eight occupations categorized within the domain of occupational therapy practice. Occupational therapy practitioners provide services to promote health and wellness, to maximize work performance and participation for clients who experience challenges in attaining, maintaining, or resuming work because of disease, disability, or injury. When delivering work-related services, OTs consider the characteristics of the client, work tasks, environments, and contexts. For these reasons, the goal of this congress is to disseminate the literature and current practices used in Italy and around the world for job (re)integration of people with disabilities.
