Occupational therapy assistants make a difference in people's lives by helping them be as independent as possible when physical, psychological, or social challenges prevent them from doing everyday things that give their lives meaning. They work with clients from newborns to older adults in a variety of settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, and nursing homes.
