Abstract
COVID-19 has caused global occupational disruption, leading to widespread changes to everyday life and challenges to health and wellbeing. This situation provides occupational therapists with an opportunity to demonstrate the art and science of occupational therapy. Combining knowledge of occupational therapy theory and occupational science with their practical skills in assisting people to respond to disruptions in everyday life, occupational therapists are well positioned to support both their clients, colleagues and the broader community during the pandemic response. The article presents examples from a population level intervention, followed by consideration of the importance of reflection and the idea of disruption as presenting new opportunities.
