As an Occupational Therapist, you help patients get well. You are the person who can bring their power back. In doing this, you will assess patient needs, develop their recovery plans, and deliver occupational therapy services. You’re a healer and a helper, which is why you got into this line of work. You’re equally adept at addressing the whole patient and seeing them as an individual.

Your goal is to design a program that will restore, reinforce, and enhance their fine and gross motor skills, social‑emotional well‑being, sensory processing, self‑help skills, and overall independence. You’re adaptable to the needs of the patient and can find joy in the variety of the work and the settings.
