Summary
I chose occupational therapy because my biggest passion in life is to help others in any way that I can, and as a therapist, you are not just rehabbing cognitive and physical disabilities you are also aiding in giving an individual a sense of independence and dignity. I enjoy the holistic approach of occupational therapy because this allows for a deeper client and therapist relationship to develop during their treatment.
