Occupational therapy has a place in refugee resettlement as many refugees experience occupational deprivation. Whiteford describes occupational deprivation as “a state of preclusion from engagement in occupations of necessity and/or meaning due to factors that stand outside the immediate control of the individual” (2010, p. 201). Indeed, there are a wide range of barriers to participation in any occupation that a person needs or wants to do which could be regarded as occupationally depriving. It is the goal and aim of occupational therapy to problem solve with the individual how to remove, or address these barriers to promote participation.
