Definition of Occupational Therapy in Georgia
Georgian Occupational Therapists' Association's definition of occupational therapy in own language
ოკუპაციური თერაპია არის ჯანმრთელობის ხელშემწყობი და კეთილდღეობისკენ მიმართული პროფესია, რომელიც სხვადასხვა თერაპიული მეთოდის, აქტივობებისა და გარემოს მოდიფიკაციის მეშვეობით ხელს უწყობს ინდივიდებსა და ჯგუფებს მათთვის მნიშვნელოვან, ღირებულ, ყოველდღიურ საქმიანობებსა და თანასაქმიანობებში ჩართვაში. იგი მიზნად ისახავს ფუნქციონირების გაუმჯობესებას, გარემოსთან ადაპტაციას და ცხოვრების ხარისხის გაზრდას ადგილობრივ ცხოვრების წესზე, ოჯახურ სტრუქტურებსა და კულტურულ ღირებულებებზე მორგებული მიდგომების გზით რაც უზრუნველყოფს პრაქტიკის არსებული რეალობისთვის შესაბამისობას.
