Occupational Therapist

Occupational Therapists help people with disabilities, injuries, or illness recover and manage through common, everyday tasks. Usually working one-on-one with patients, OTs will observe how patients do tasks, ask questions and look over medical history, create treatment plans and goals, show patients how to use adaptive technology, and demonstrate exercises to relieve pain and increase mobility.
