Clinicians

According to the American Occupational Therapy Association, Occupational therapy practitioners have a special kind of knowledge to help support people who plan to enroll in or are attending college programs. This includes an understanding of how illness, injury, or developmental disabilities affect your ability to participate, and ways to help with physical, cognitive, sensory, and psychosocial challenges. Occupational therapy practitioners have expertise in how we do things, adapting tasks to match a person’s skills, assistive technology (both high and low tech), and changing the environment to make it possible to participate.
