Job Description

    occupational therapists work with their patients by taking a therapeutic approach to everyday activities. Broadly, this means that occupational therapists are responsible for helping patients develop, recover, improve in regards to a condition or injury, as well as maintain the skills needed to execute daily activities. But, what does this actually entail In general, OTs are responsible for a wide range of duties and tasks related to patient care. Depending on the setting in which they work, the roles of an OT often include:Evaluating a patients condition and needs Developing treatment plans to address a patients needs and help them meet specific goals Assessing a patients home and/or work environment and recommending adaptations to fit the patients needs and improve independence Training patients and their caregivers to use special equipment Assess and document progress for evaluation, billing, and reporting purposes And moreThe day-to-day activities that occupational therapists take part in will also likely be influenced by the settings in which they work. Many occupational therapists work in hospital or private practice settings, however, there are many opportunities to work in other environments. For example, some practitioners work in educational settings to assist in child development or with the elderly to lessen the struggles that come along with aging. Those with an entrepreneurial spirit may even choose to open and manage their own private practice.Required SkillsWhile occupational therapists come from all backgrounds, there are several key skills and qualities that lend themselves well to the nature of occupational therapy work. For instance, it is important for these professionals to have a strong sense of compassion and empathy in order to work with their patients best interests in mind. In fact, many occupational therapists are drawn to this line of work from a desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others.In addition to having a people-oriented mindset, there are several skills that OTs should have to be successful in the field. Among these include:Communication skills: OTs must have strong written and verbal communication skills in order to effectively understand the needs of their patients and explain the treatment process. Additionally, they must be able to clearly document treatment plans and progress, as well as collaborate with other healthcare professionals. Problem Solving: Since no two cases will ever be the same, good OTs must demonstrate excellent problem solving skills to determine the best course of action for each unique situation. Patience and Flexibility: Often times, occupational therapy is a long road to restoring a patients independence. Good OTs must be patient and flexible when dealing with the high and low points throughout this process.
