Overview
Key Features
The department prepares you for today's world, tomorrow's challenges and future careers. We help you master fundamental academic abilities, personal and social development, and the philosophical values of occupational therapy (OT).
The programs emphasize the core philosophy of Clarkson University, with four components serving as common threads through multiple courses:
- Learn to communicate effectively
- Develop an appreciation for diversity in both working and living environments
- Recognize the importance of personal, societal, and professional ethics
- Understand how science and technology can be used to serve humanity.
Clarkson's Occupational Therapy's "curricular threads" represent the themes that are interwoven throughout all of the coursework. They reflect the values and priorities of our department, as well as the unique philosophy and mission our University.
The Occupational Therapy program at Clarkson University integrates experiential learning to help students develop internalized working models for practicing occupational therapy in culturally diverse, innovative practice settings.
We have a state-of-the-art Smart Simulation Lab and Assistive Technology lab, both of which offer simulated living experiences and cutting edge technology. Between the labs, we can simulate an actual living space and incorporate high-tech solutions to everyday challenges, such as low vision supports, adaptive driving equipment, simulators, assistive technology devices and environmental controls.
