Why I Chose Occupational Therapy

There wasn’t a specific time or event that led me to want to pursue occupational therapy. I became interested in the profession when my grandma received occupational therapy. It helped to preserve her independence and happiness in a very hard time of her life, and this led me to become interested in OT. After observing in many different settings I fell even more in love with OT and the independence that it can help to restore to individuals throughout the lifespan. It truly is one of the most diverse professions.
