Occupational Therapy

What is occupational Therapy?

• "They help people across the lifespan participate in things that they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations.)
• They focus on the functionality of everyday activities and other activities that are meaningful to people.
• It is client centered approach care that is centered around the meaningfulness to help clients with their goals during rehabilitation." -https://www.aota.org (AOTA website)

What the OT Club does:

• To provide shadowing opportunities that will give you personal experience with OTs in the field
• To create contacts with graduate school speakers that come and speak to the club and give helpful information on their programs
• To service others in the community through volunteer events that give a diverse range of experience
• To bring together people interested in OT so that they can learn and gain the knowledge they need for their future
