From the Publisher

Who this book is for and what it is about
This book is ideal for the person who is considering a career in the field of occupational therapy.

Introductory chapters explain what occupational therapy is, how it is different from physical therapy, and how occupational therapists interact with other health care professionals. It also includes advice on how to select an occupational therapy program and how to apply to a school.

Since student selection in occupational therapy programs is so competitive, there is also a section that contains observation forms. When a student applies to an occupational therapy educational program, he or she may be asked to observe in an occupational therapy department and document that observation. The forms in this book make it easy to document that experience.
