Occupational science is an academic discipline dedicated to the study of human occupation, encompassing the everyday activities and tasks individuals and communities engage in. This interdisciplinary field investigates the complex interplay between occupation and health, well-being, and participation in life, drawing on diverse perspectives to understand the form, function, and meaning of human activity across the lifespan. Research in occupational science generates foundational knowledge that informs professional practice, notably occupational therapy, and seeks to promote meaningful occupational engagement to enhance individual and collective quality of life.
