Occupational Therapy ’s Role in Promoting Safe Sexual Activity in Residents: An Interview

Sexual activity can be an integral part of people ’s lives, and this does not necessarily change when people enter a long-term care facility. Occupational therapists (OTs) have a critical role in the adaptation of sexual activity to meet the desires and safety needs of clients interested in sexual activity. In this interview, Benjamin Canter, BA, OT/s talks with Zoe Loitz, BA, OT/s, an occupational therapy doctoral candidate at Boston University, about sexual activity as an activity of daily living (ADL) and how occupational therapy can help meet resident’s needs in this area.
