Occupational Therapy Assistant

Occupational Therapy is the art and science of helping people gain skills needed to become independent in daily living activities.

Students learn the therapeutic use of occupations which include self-care, work and play/leisure activities in order to maximize independent function, enhance development, prevent disability and maintain health. Intervention strategies may include adaptations to a task or environment or compensatory approaches in order to facilitate clients’ achievement of maximum independence.

What You Will Learn 

 Demonstrating professional behaviors reflective of an ethical, competent therapist, inclusive of critical thinking, communication skills and commitment to lifelong learning required of healthcare professionals.

Practicing emergent clinical skills in treatment techniques, methodology and rationale for implementation, including clinical documentation and reasoning skills as an entry-level professional.
