Bu hedef doğrultusunda, ergoterapistler hem bireyi hem de bireyin sosyal çevresini eğitip, fiziki şartları da bireyin ihtiyaçlarına daha uygun hale getirecek düzenlemeler yapar. Ergoterapinin felsefesi bireylerin fiziksel ve mental durumu ne olursa olsun daha bağımsız, ve daha mutlu bireyler olmalarını sağlamakdır.
