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.
