Occupation therapists try to suggest and give support to those who face disabilities, mental health, and other problems such as illnesses and conditions, such as support aids and or tools to make as many areas of life as possible easier than what they would them. Patients may be referred to an Occupation therapist for whatever reason. For example; easy grip jar openers for someone who has Dyspraxia such as someone like myself, intend to help people gain independence.
Their role is to support vulnerable people to get equipment, environment, or materials in the places where they live and work for their needs.

It is
important to recognize disabilities, mental health, and other problems, and how
they affect people's lives, and you can
try to support them. There are tools, aids, etc to support all difficulties
people face but there are some that you could suggest to them, depending on the
problems and the difficulties they face.
Here are some difficulties I faced due to my Dyspraxia. Opening jars, and bottles, carrying heavy saucepans, straining water out of hot food, etc.

and feel as we do with or without a reason whether it’s happy, sad, angerly,
laughing, crying etc.
