Occupational therapists help people do the everyday activities that illness, injury, disability, or ageing has made difficult. The intervention is often environmental or adaptive rather than medical: change the task, change the tool, change the home. Assessments frequently happen where the person actually lives or works rather than in a clinic.

Speech-language pathologists assess and treat difficulties with speech, language, voice, fluency, and swallowing across the lifespan. Caseloads range from children with language delay to adults recovering from stroke or living with progressive disease. Swallowing assessment is a safety-critical part of the role that many people outside the profession do not associate with it.

Dietitians translate nutrition science into practical eating plans for people managing a condition, recovering from illness, or being fed artificially. Clinical dietitians calculate and prescribe enteral and parenteral nutrition, which is technical, quantitative work. Community and public-health dietitians spend more time on education and programme design.
Clinical psychologists assess and treat psychological distress and disorder using structured assessment and evidence-based talking therapies. A distinctive part of the role is formal psychometric and neuropsychological assessment, which few other professions do. Training is long and competitive, and much of the work is emotionally demanding one-to-one contact.
