Occupational Therapy Department

我们的部门为您准备今天的世界，明天的挑战和未来的职业生涯. We help you master fundamental academic abilities, personal and social development, and the philosophical values of occupational therapy (OT).

Our programs emphasize the core philosophy of Clarkson University, with four components serving as common threads through multiple courses:

Learn to communicate effectively
培养对工作和生活环境多样性的欣赏
Recognize the importance of personal, societal, and professional ethics
Understand how science and technology can be used to serve humanity.

Instead of asking, "What's the matter with you?" our occupational therapists ask, "What matters to you?"

生活是由“职业”组成的，我们发现有意义和有目的的日常活动. 职业因人而异，可能包括为人父母等角色, 我的一个朋友, 一个学生, 配偶, 一个运动员, 一个画家, a traveler and so on. 我们倾向于认为职业是理所当然的，直到我们遇到阻碍我们去做的挑战. 职业治疗师帮助人们重新从事他们所重视的职业.

What is the role of an occupational therapist?

Occupational therapists are holistic, 医疗保健专业人员谁已经学会了如何应用循证干预措施，以改善一个人的心理, 物理, emotional and social participation. They assist individuals in setting achievable goals; staying healthy, productive and independent and participating in everyday activities. 职业治疗师享受帮助人们充实生活的满足感!
