There are many reasons to choose to become an occupational therapist. A key few:

Make a genuine difference to people's everyday lives - ability, meaning, roles, confidence
-
Work with varied groups of people - children, teenagers, adults, older people; cultural and socio-economic contrasts

Work in varied settings - hospitals, schools, the community, charities, prisons; statutory and private services

Career flexibility - to retrain and specialise within other areas of practice
