October 13 (Columbus Day) from 3:00-5:00pm

When attending A Spectrum of Careers, participating high school students will:

• Attend a presentation offering an overview of "typical" careers in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology, including educational coursework, licensure requirements, salary ranges, professional settings, and diverse populations served by these professionals. 

• Observe an occupational therapist, physical therapist, and speech-language pathologist interacting with children as they navigate and play in BOTS' sensory gym.

• Participate in a discussion with these professionals. This conversation will target the differences between occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology’s perspectives and approaches that may not have been obvious through observation, as well as respond to the high school students' questions.

• Meet with representatives from colleges/universities that offer programs in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and/or speech-language pathology.

A Spectrum of Careers is designed to target your students who enjoy Biology/Living Science coursework and are considering coursework or careers in other "caring professions," such as (but not limited to):

• Psychology

• Education 

• Medicine

• Social Work

• Childhood Development
