World Occupational Therapy Day 2026

​

World Occupational Therapy Day on 27th October 2026 is a day to celebrate the contribution of Occupational Therapists to the lives of millions of people across the world.

 

This year's theme, 'Participation Matters' highlights the role of everyday activities, roles and routines in supporting health, wellbeing and quality of life. In the days up to October 27th, the COB-MS team will be using the special focus to celebrate the role Occupational Therapy has in supporting people with Multiple Sclerosis to improve their Quality of Life, share the feedback from the trial participants and give an insight into how Occupational Therapists advance people’s participation by addressing physical, cognitive, emotional, environmental and social factors in people’s lives.

​

COB-MS was developed with a holistic focus on rehabilitation in MS, through an individualised cognitive intervention, measured by and taught through an occupational participation perspective; in order to address the wide-ranging symptoms and functional difficulties that present in MS. These include the ability to maintain: employment, social activities, managing the home and self-care. WOTD 2026 really captures this work so well. Please join us by sharing our messages across your socials and let people know about the COB-MS project.
