The word courtly has nothing to do with a basketball court or court of law. Rather, courtly things relate to royal courts: they're sophisticated and grand. Think about the pomp that surrounds a royal wedding in England, and you'll get a sense of the lavish, expensive, regal nature of courtly things. Nothing courtly is common, cheap, or average.
Definition of Occupational Therapy. Occupational therapy is a client-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and well being through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life.
The following illustration provides an overview of the key terms of this definition of occupational therapy. Occupational therapy makes resources-oriented, targeted use of specific activities, environment adaptation and advice.This enables the client to increase his functional ability in activities of daily living (ADL), his social participation, and his quality of life and life satisfaction.Which activities a person needs in daily living at any one given point in his life and which are of particular importance to him are partly determined by the roles he assumes or has to assume in his environment (e.g. role of a mother, role of an employee). Occupational therapy takes these into account.
