Ergotherapy is the treatment of individuals with physical and mental illness or disability using specifically selected activities aimed at helping individuals achieve the highest possible level of function and independence in all areas of life. (Council of Occupational Therapists for the European Countries, 2000)

The primary goal of ergotherapy is to enable people to participate in everyday activities. Occupational therapists achieve this by helping people perform activities that enhance their participation or by adapting the environment to support the person's participation.
