Occupational Therapist
Occupational Therapists are health care professionals who assist individuals of all ages in activities associated with everyday life and occupational concerns. Occupational therapists provide comprehensive evaluations of the client’s home, school and work environments, make recommendations for adaptive equipment and training in its use, therapeutic interventions to achieve maximal outcomes and provide education for family members and caregivers when needed. Occupational therapists utilize a holistic perspective in which the focus is on adapting an individual’s environment to fit the person.
Pre-Occupational Therapist
Many professional occupational therapy education programs are a combined bachelor’s/master's program. These programs often take transfer students into the master’s program, but may require individuals to complete transitional course work at their institutions in order to be admitted into their occupational therapy professional education programs.
