Some Qualities It Takes to be in the Field

Some of the more obvious roles would be the love to work with people, the creativity aspect, and the loving for helping others. This job is almost in my opinion a perfect combo between therapy, teaching, and nursing all in one. Another interesting piece of information that I came across is the amount of teamwork involved in being a occupational therapist. This was something I didn't think of at the beginning of my research process. But I found that one vital part about this job, is learning how to work with other people in the field, not only are there occupational therapists but occupational therapist assistants and there are 2 separate college paths for each one. The assistant pathway of course takes less time. But they work hand in hand, along with other specialized teams that are usually catered to the client who is being treated. Therefore students considering this field should be good collaborators and team workers.
