What can you do with an Occupational Therapy Assistant degree?

Occupational therapy is the use of everyday activities as the means of helping people achieve independence. As an occupational therapy assistant, you will work under the supervision of registered occupational therapists and help people of all ages who have difficulty performing work and daily living activities due to illness, injury or disability. You may guide clients in acquiring or relearning skills as specified in a treatment plan or teach them how to use specialized equipment that may make certain activities easier.
