What is a weekend occupational therapist?

A Weekend Occupational Therapist is a licensed professional who provides therapy services to patients on weekends, often in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, or skilled nursing facilities. They help individuals regain daily living skills, improve mobility, and enhance independence after an injury, illness, or surgery.
