Associate of Science in Occupational Therapy Assistant

Keiser University’s Associate of Science degree in Occupational Therapy Assistant prepares students to work as occupational therapy assistants under direct supervision of a licensed occupational therapist. Occupational therapy is the art and science of helping people gain skills needed to become independent in daily living activities. Students learn the therapeutic use of self-care, work and play/leisure activities to maximize independent function, enhance development, prevent disability and maintain health. It may include adaptations to a task or environment to achieve maximum independence for clients.
