When I define 'occupation' I tell people that it's whatever occupies their time...
whether that be working, playing, reading a book, or even sleeping.

Hello Jody:

Aren't you funny!! :-)

However,  on  many occasion, clients who have had OT in the past, frequently
explain as upper extremity stuff. :-(

The  reason  that  I asked my original question is because I am wondering if
OT's  explain  the meaning of the word 'occupation' when they are explaining
occupational  therapy.  My  experience  has been that when provide a literal
dictionary  definition of 'occupation', then clients can better grasp why we
call ourselves OTs and what it is that we do.
