performed, or the environment in which it is per-

provide the client with skills for the job of living—
those necessary to function in the community or
in the client’s chosen environment.
The department of occupational Therapy is
a leading academic center committed to the de-
velopment of ethical therapists and scholars who
are prepared to respond to the challenges of
society’s ever-changing needs. The department
offers professional-level graduate education for
entry into occupational therapy practice and
post-professional master’s and doctoral degrees
for graduates of approved occupational therapy
programs.
