Who are we?

The world of occupational therapy is made up of various types of people. They are parents, counselors, teachers, designers, travelers, ambassadors, scientists, explorers, etc.

We are students from the Occupational Therapy Program at Stony Brook, New York. We are future therapists looking to spread the word about our profession and we hope to encourage learning about OT for all people.

Maria | Coordinator, Web Design
Maria Definition of OT:
Occupational therapy is a health care profession dedicated to working with clients collaboratively to participate in meaningful activities while taking into consideration their environment, culture, and community.

Elena | Promotions, News
Elena Definition of OT:
Occupational Therapy is understanding peoples' wants and needs and transferring that into helping them be as independent as possible in their environment.



Kate | Research, International Relations
Kate Definition of OT:
Occupational Therapy is a profession that focuses on improving an individual's quality of life so that he/she is able to fully participate in the activities most important to them. When a disability or injury prevents a child or adult from engaging in an activity (playing games, socializing, using the bathroom, etc.), it can be frustrating and maybe a little discouraging. OTs work with adults and children to help them develop strategies and adaptations to allow them to engage in their activities successfully.


Melissa | Research
Melissa Definition of OT:
Occupational Therapy is about enabling individuals to achieve independence through physical or mental strategies and techniques.
