Det er behandlingsmøte, det handler om meg og livet mitt, jeg får være med, jeg snakker om ordet “engasjement” til overlege Sørensen, til assistentlegene, til avdelingssykepleieren, til aktivitøren, sosionomen, psykosøstrene, psykologen, det er behandlingsmøte, alle ser rart på meg når jeg snakker.

Explanation:
This is the accurate translation, but for your novel, "assistant therapist" might be sufficient?

En aktivitør arbeider med å aktivisere eldre på et dagsenter for eldre eller et alders- og sykehjem. Det kan også være aktivitører ansatt i omsorgen for psykisk utviklingshemmede eller funksjonshemmede, for eksempel på vernede bedrifter.

agree  Per Bergvall: Ja, men hvorfor 'assistant'?
1 hr
  -> "Occupational therapist" krever f.eks. mastergrad i USA, mens "aktivitør" er en yrkesskoleutdanning.

agree  Vedis Bjørndal: agree with Per here. Otherwise it would be better with "occupational therapy assistant"
