Pre-Occupational Therapy

关于 the Pre-Occupational Therapy Concentration

Occupational therapists help people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes.

To become a licensed OT, students MUST attend a professional OT Program at the master’s or doctoral level. These are commonly 2-3 year programs. Students should be most concerned about achieving the pre-requisite requirements for 入学 to the OT program of their choice. The pre-requisite requirements for all programs can be found on the American Occupational Therapy website.

The most common course pre-requisites are Anatomy & 生理学我 & II, Lifespan Development, Abnormal Psychology and Statistics.
