Hi my name is Dylan Desjardins and I am studying in the pure and applied science program. I would like to become an occupational therapist later because I love helping people and I also have to move. This is why I chose the pure and applied science program. Indeed, in this program there is biology and this will help me a lot to understand my future in terms of the human body. Also, these articles will help me better understand this job that I want to do
Occupational therapists who work with people with disabilities need the strength, agility and stamina to help these people. For example, an occupational therapist must help a person get into a wheelchair. Also, occupational therapists must be patient with clients and those who work 40 hours per week may experience fatigue.
An occupational therapist has several functions. Indeed, it heals certain suffering that people have. To be more precise, it treats mental problems, physical suffering, developmental disorders, etc. People who are persistent will succeed in having productive lives even if they suffer from certain problems. These people will succeed thanks to the occupational therapists.
An occupational therapist must help people who suffer from a problem every day to achieve their goal of living a normal life. For example, when it is a physical problem, occupational therapists will use exercises to help them come back to their former sate.
Occupational therapists will work almost anywhere in cities and those with experience will be able to open their own private practice.
Being an occupational therapist is a very long academic challenge. In fact, before 2007 occupational therapists could just have a bachelor's degree in occupational therapy. But now to be certified as an occupational therapist, you must have a master's or doctorate at the beginner level. It must be done at the university and especially to have very good grades.
All depend on the experience of the occupational therapist, but on average it will make $37.13 per hour.
After 5 years of experience, the occupational therapist is now certified by the board of directors.
With this job you can't really hurt yourself but it is certain you have to be in good shape and well-present my bring you to help people.
I don't think he's very lucky those robots are replacing human, because every customer is going to have a different problem. So, it will be necessary to be specific between each client.
On average, occupational therapists can retire after 30 years of work but it all depends on the person.
Finally I will finish m cegep in a year and then I will go to university in the field of occupational therapists. I hope to have the right grades
