I own an occupational therapy private practice & I'm a professional advocate for the disabled.
I am a professional advocate for the disabled and I have a private occupational therapy practice with a very flexible schedule; that means that on any given day, I could be an expert witness in a litigation case, teach a health and wellness program for brain and body health, consult with interior designers, architects and builders to make sure a space is fully accessible and optimized, or perform ADA consulting to help employers with employees with disabilities stay on the job or return to work.
Here's the first step for college students
Know what you're getting yourself into! My advisor, Dr. Griffin, head of the OT Program at Quinnipiac College, told me that I shouldn't commit to entering occupational therapy degree until I had done thorough research on the field and the profession that would follow. She lent me a copy of Willard and Spackman's "OT Bible," which I immediately read cover-to-cover. The passion I conveyed in our ensuing conversation convinced her I'd make a great OT, and she gave me glowing recommendations.
