Occupational therapy is a valuable profession that has been serving individuals, groups and populations for over a hundred years, despite that the profession remains largely under-recognized.  The literature indicates that occupational therapy practitioners have difficulty effectively defining and explaining what occupational therapy is.  

This course will provide occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants and students with a process for developing an effective explanation to answer the question: What is OT?

This professional development activity is targeted at occupational therapy assistants and occupational therapists.

This CEU course uses the following instructional methods: visual aides (ie slides), discussion board, guided note taking, and learning.

Content disclosure: This course does not exclusively focus on any specific product or service.
