Occupational Therapy Flashcards

The American Occupational Therapy Association defines an occupational therapist as someone who helps people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes. Typically, occupational therapists are university-educated professionals and must pass a licensing exam to practice. Occupational therapists often work closely with professionals in physical therapy, speech therapy, nursing, social work, and medicine.
Worldwide, there is a range of qualifications required to practice occupational therapy. Many countries require a bachelor's degree (e.g. Australia). In the United States and Canada, a master's degree is required to practice. In Europe, a bachelor's degree or a master's degree is accepted. 

The OT curriculum focuses on the theoretical basis of occupation and the clinical skills require to practice occupational therapy. Students must have knowledge of physiology, anatomy, medicine, psychology, and neurology to understand interventions and their client's medical history. All OT education programs include periods of clinical education, consisting of direct work with a practicing OT.
