Overview
An occupational therapist helps people with disabilities to learn the skills or recover the skills to be more independent in their lives. Traditionally occupational therapy (OT) is concerned with the small muscles, such as in the hand, while physical therapy deals mainly with large muscle groups and mobility. According to “U. S. News and World Report, ” 50% of occupational therapists report that their jobs are not stressful, making OT the ninth least stressful job in the country.
To be an effective occupational therapist you must have excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to imagine effective adaptations to assist a patient to become independent with a particular skill or skill set. Often a patient makes very slow progress and may become very frustrated or noncompliant in practicing therapy at home between therapy appointments. Patience and the ability to motivate and encourage clients are essential characteristics of a good OT.
