What Occupational Therapists Do
Occupational therapists treat patients who have injuries, illnesses, or disabilities through the therapeutic use of everyday activities.

About half of occupational therapists work in offices of occupational therapy or in hospitals. Others work in schools, nursing homes, and home health services. Therapists may spend a lot of time on their feet while working with patients.

Occupational therapists typically have a master’s degree in occupational therapy. All states require occupational therapists to be licensed.
