Pre-Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists work in hospitals, medical offices, rehabilitation centers and schools, and may also visit patients in their homes. They serve patients who suffer from a wide variety of conditions, including physical, mental, emotional and developmental problems. The Occupational Therapist helps
the patient perform basic living and working tasks like dressing, eating, cooking and operating equipment like computers and phones, so that the patent may live a more independent and satisfying life.
