I’ve asked multiple people and have never gotten a clear answer. They’re always consulted together in the hospital, but I’m sure they have different responsibilities.

Let’s imagine you have a favorite toy that you want to play with:
A physical therapist is like a helper who teaches you how to move your body better so you can reach and grab your toy. They might show you fun exercises to make your arms and legs stronger.
An occupational therapist is like a helper who teaches you how to do everyday things, like putting on your shoes or eating with a spoon. They might show you easier ways to play with your toy or help you learn to write your name.
Both helpers want you to be able to do the things you enjoy, but they focus on different parts of helping you!
