在这里学什么？

Occupational therapy is a profession as diverse, unlimited and creative as the people it serves. As an occupational therapist, you’ll use the “occupations” of work and productive activities, play, leisure, social participation and self-care to reduce impairment and teach skills to clients who have physical, developmental, emotional or mental health disabilities across the lifespan.

You’ll design therapies as basic as bathing, dressing or eating, or as complex as operating a computer with modified control switches. As diverse as these therapies are, they share a common goal: promoting health, wellness and full engagement in everyday routines so that your clients can lead satisfying lives.

The curriculum of the Occupational Therapy Program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee prepares the generalist occupational therapist for entry-level practice in a variety of environments and practice settings. These include health care delivery systems, communities, educational institutions, public health, and social service organizations. It is organized by foundational concepts of occupation and occupational therapy, and builds on the culture, life experiences and prior knowledge inherent in each student. Since no single theoretical model adequately prepares the generalist occupational therapy practitioner, the integration of knowledge, theories and conceptual practice models from social, natural, and physical sciences combined with theories of occupation and sensitivity to culture and diversity, provide the building blocks of the curriculum.
