Abstract
The use of crafts in occupational therapy exemplifies the use of occupation as a means and an end for individuals who experience challenges to participation in everyday life. Crafts are used to practice skills that are applied to other functional activities of daily living, and crafts become meaningful tasks that satisfy occupational needs.
