Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy is a health care profession that works with people to help them be able to participate in their daily activities (occupations) at home, school, work, and play. Occupational Therapy addresses the person, what the person wants and needs to do, and the person's environment.

Occupational Therapists work with children and adults who may be at risk for or having difficulty with participation in daily activities of living including play, work, education, and leisure. Occupational Therapists use their knowledge of healthy lifestyles and daily activities; creativity; and problem-solving abilities to help individuals fully participate in life.

An Occupational Therapist can work in school systems, rehabilitation centers, long term care facilities, hospitals, mental health facilities, home care and community centers.

You can become an occupational therapist in a caring, personalized, fully accredited educational program at American International College.
