  • Insurance- Given that occupational therapists work in the medical field, it shouldn’t be too surprising that they receive health insurance as a job benefit. This includes medical insurance, vision insurance, disability coverage, cancer coverage and dental insurance. Occupational therapists who travel often for short-term work in different locations around the country can also receive accident coverage and private housing.

By becoming a pediatric OT I will get to help many kids and many families. There are many families out there that think that soemthing is not completely right about their kids behavior or the way they act. Most parents hear from other people even family memebers don't worry they are fine and that is not the way to go. The parents need to go out and take them to get evaluated eevn if it turns out that it was nothing. ]]> 2018-10-05 16:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/riveradi000/arsk3hj9o8oo/wish/289719192 How does one gather info? riveradi000 https://padlet.com/riveradi000/arsk3hj9o8oo/wish/289752787 People gather information in different way.
