People who succeed in occupational therapy enjoy communicating with and teaching others to reach their full functioning capacity. Occupational therapists assess, plan, organize and participate in rehabilitative programs that help restore general independence and vocational and daily living skills to people with injuries or disabilities. They work with individuals who have conditions that are mentally, physically, developmentally or emotionally disabling. Occupational therapist not only help clients improve basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also compensate for permanent loss of function. Their goal is to help clients have independent, productive and satisfying lives.
