Occupational Therapy Terms in Tamil - eBook

One of the barriers that influences the growth of OT in India is language.  India’s linguistic diversity creates a challenge for occupational therapists (OTs) during therapist-patient encounters and OT students when they attempt to decode complex OT principles and theories.  This book presents the Tamil version of 500 OT terms/phrases used by OTs in their education and practice.   A brief description was added in parenthesis wherever necessary to help readers understand the translated version in the context of OT.  Occupational therapists in India cannot promote awareness about their profession among the general public unless they talk OT in listener’s language.   This book is a step forward in that direction.  This book is intended for all Tamil speaking OTs, OT students, and the general public.
