What this licence covers
Occupational therapists (OT, OTR/L) work on the specific activities a person needs to do — dressing, writing, driving, returning to a job. Where a physical therapist typically targets the movement itself, an occupational therapist targets the task, including adapting the task or the environment.
Adapting workstations and tasks to reduce strain and injury risk.
The formal definition

Many also hold another licence
different training route, same personThese are registrations where the same person also holds a licence of a genuinely different kind — not the same qualification recorded twice. It is worth knowing because it widens what someone can work with: a counsellor who is also a social worker brings a different second toolkit than one who is also a behaviour analyst.
Counted from every taxonomy code on a registration, not just the primary one. A provider can appear under more than one row.
