Weekend Occupational Therapy Programs

Occupational therapists help their patients with the improvement of their abilities to perform everyday tasks in working environments and living conditions. In order to enter into the field as an occupational therapist in 2010, the typical minimum requirement is a master’s degree in occupational therapy; some institutions offer weekend programs for the working adult.
