The OT Coloring Book

The Occupational Therapy Coloring Book is an interactive introduction to the everyday activities—or occupations—that give our lives meaning, structure, identity, and purpose. Created and illustrated by occupational therapist, scientist, educator, and artist Emily J. Balog, PhD, OTR/L, the book transforms occupational therapy concepts into engaging, hand-drawn coloring pages designed for learning and enjoyment.

Explore the nine areas of occupation: Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), Health Management, Rest and Sleep, Education, Work, Play, Leisure, and Social Participation. Each section pairs original artwork with simple explanations, occupation-related imagery, and reflection prompts that encourage readers to think about how these occupations show up in their own lives.

Designed for occupational therapy students and practitioners, educators, clients, families, and anyone curious about OT, this book offers a creative way to learn about the profession while reflecting on the everyday activities that matter most.

Color. Learn. Reflect. Discover occupation.
