Pre-Occupational Therapy Preparation at ACU

• Occupational therapists provide services to individuals whose ability to cope with the activities of daily living are impaired by physical illness or injury, congenital or developmental disability, or the aging process. The goal of the therapist is to help their patients regain their independence and good health.
• Occupational therapists may specialize in physical rehabilitation, mental health, pediatrics, or gerontology occupational therapy. They may also specialize in specific body parts such as the hands or feet.
• Completion of an education program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education is required to become an Occupational therapist. All OT education programs include a period of supervised clinical experience.
