Summary

The conversation focuses on a simple but important problem, how people with disabilities can live fuller daily lives when the community takes responsibility, not just the clinic. Dr. Shovan Saha shares his views on where occupational therapy is heading in India and around the world. He speaks about a shift toward seeing health as something shaped by homes, schools, workplaces, and public spaces. He gives the example of a person with a disability doing better when the people around them understand their needs and respect their rights. The core idea is that occupational therapy works best when professionals, families, and society move in the same direction. Dr. Saha explains that training programs are improving and therapists are stepping up to this role. The key takeaway is clear, occupational therapy is about helping people participate in real life, every day, with support from the community.
