Baptist Health Adds Occupational Therapy Assistant School
The Baptist Health School of Occupational Therapy Assistant is the newest program for the Baptist Health Schools of Nursing and Allied Health. The program, which began in response to a need for occupational therapy assistants in the community, is the only one of its kind in the central Arkansas area.
Working under the supervision of an occupational therapist, occupational therapy assistants use purposeful activity to aid clients with physical, mental, and developmental disabilities in functioning as independently as possible in the areas of self-care, work, and leisure. Occupational therapy assistants work in a variety of settings including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, school systems, long-term care facilities, pediatric clinics, and mental health facilities.
