Occupational science

Occupational science is a big and fancy word for understanding why people do the things they do in their daily lives. It looks at how people can do everyday activities like cooking, writing, and getting dressed, and how they can do them better.

Imagine you're trying to bake a cake for your family. You need to measure the ingredients, mix them together, and put the cake in the oven to bake. But what if you can't measure accurately or find it difficult to mix the ingredients? That's where occupational science comes in. It helps figure out what you need to do to make the baking process easier and more enjoyable.

Now, let's say you are grown up and you have a job. Occupational science also helps people understand how their work can affect their health and well-being. This can involve things like figuring out the best way to sit or stand to avoid back pain, finding ways to manage stress at work, and making sure that someone's job is not too hard or too boring.

Overall, occupational science is about helping people do the things they need and want to do in their daily lives, whether it’s at home or at work.
