The
Program is responsive to the needs of the community and its students
and was created to fulfill a need for occupational therapy services in
aging, rehabilitation medicine, mental health and developmental
conditions. The curriculum is designed to strengthen and improve
occupational therapy services in health agencies and community settings
by preparing students to work as a member of a team with the
occupational therapist and other professionals. The program prepares
graduates for eligibility for certification (by examination) by the
National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy and (by
application) by the New York State Department of Education.
Students learn to differentiate between the professional and technical
levels in occupational therapy. The program promotes pride in the role
of the certified occupational therapy assistant while providing a
foundation in the liberal arts.
