Psychosocial Occupational Therapy - OTAH221

Why is this important to you?

Occupational therapy is practical. By keeping up to date with the literature you may discover:

• new therapeutic interventions
• new tools that you have not used before
• what other OTs and OTAs are doing in their practice
• how certain populations respond to certain treatments and interventions
• a gap in the research where you might fit in!
