But if you’re reading this post, chances are that you probably
already know that the word “occupation” when it comes to OT is
related to helping people accomplish the occupations (daily
tasks, routines, and activities) that bring a sense of purpose and
meaning to people’s lives.

On top of the misconceptions about our job title, there can be
even more confusion about our role when you take into account
the countless practice settings where you can find OT‘s. For
pediatric occupational therapists like myself, these settings can
include hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, outpatient clinics,
clients’ homes, mental health settings, schools, and more!
OTs in schools are part of the special education team that can
include, special education teachers, general education teachers,
school psychologists, speech language pathologists, physical
therapists, and other professionals as well as students’ parents
and caregivers.
