occupational therapy education

Occupational therapy education prepares individuals to help people of all ages develop, recover, or maintain the skills necessary for daily living and working. It typically involves completing a bachelor's degree followed by a master's or doctoral program in occupational therapy, where students learn about anatomy, human development, and therapeutic techniques. Future occupational therapists gain hands-on clinical experience through supervised practice. The focus is on enabling clients to participate fully in their everyday activities, whether recovering from injury, managing disability, or adapting to life changes. Once qualified, they provide personalized interventions to improve clients’ independence and quality of life.
