What is Occupational Therapy? And what does an Occupational Therapist do?

Occupational Therapy, often abbreviated as "OT", incorporates meaningful and purposeful occupation to enable people with limitations or impairments to participate in everyday life. Occupational therapists work with individuals, families, groups and populations to facilitate health and well-being through engagement or re-engagement in occupation. Occupational therapists are becoming increasingly involved in addressing the impact of social and environmental factors that contribute to exclusion and occupational deprivation

How do I become an Occupational Therapist?

In United States and Canada, entry level is at the Master’s level. This change occurred in 2007, requiring all occupational therapists who started their educational program after 2007 to continue their education beyond a four-year degree. Currently, six schools in the US offer a clinical doctorate for those who would like to further their education past the Master’s level.

All occupational therapists have a well-rounded knowledge of biomedical, behavioral, environmental and occupational scientists. Occupational therapists base their interventions on the knowledge based on neuroscience, anatomy, applied technology, policy and environmental strategies.
