DUC Occupational Therapy
DUC Occupational Therapy
Dominican Occupational Therapy (OT) does not actually fall under the umbrella of support services, but the OT department could be a helpful resource if you are supporting students with disabilities. Occupational therapists (OTs) are uniquely trained to look holistically at a person, their environment, and the activity or task they need to accomplish. OTs help people live life to the fullest and accomplish their goals. While they usually specialize in working with specific populations, OTs are first trained generally to work with people across the lifespan. OT students and professors would be more than happy to help if you needed extra help finding creative ways to support a student you are working with.
