- www.gaylord.org April is Occupational Therapy (OT) Month. Occupational therapists "help people [of all ages] participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities." These daily activities are also known as "occupations." Some of the things an OT does include helping people live life to the fullest by enhancing function, supporting skills for the job of living, improving strength, and using assistive technology. At Gaylord our OTs bring back fun to being functional!
I decided to study Occupational therapy after I had seen this video. And now, I am an Occupational Therapist.
Wow, Ebrar that is fantastic!! Congratulations!
@@GaylordHealthcare Thank you!
Do you enjoy it?
@@ninifire4282 Yes, I do.
Did you find the study hard??
I enjoyed this video, I am considering becoming an OT. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it! All the best as you move ahead in your education.
I'm also considering it right now. Gonna have a lot of work ahead of me lol! I'm a freshman undergrad.
Senior undergrad studying Kinesiology...still trying to find my path 😬😬😬
I want to apply for masters in OT soon!! Cant wait!
For some reason, this video was incredibly moving. I have been trying to decide between speech therapist and occupational therapy for a while now. And this definitely tipped the decision.
You guys helped me soo much. Thank you for saving my life.

APRIL is OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY MONTH! Occupational therapists "help people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities." This video gives you an idea of all the things our OTs do to help our patients get back in the game! czcams.com/video/r0aCJtkDdSE/video.html

I'm 15 so we are about the same age now. Do you still want to become one?
Lots of love & respect to these occupation therapist .When I broke my ribs ,I was so depressed but I watched this video and it inspired me alot. 💕
Yesterday I decided to take this field in the future. I want it. Its like a calling. Need to save up to make it happen.
the song is so much suitable with the video..... great job x_x
I love science & health plus a really enjoy helping others. This will be the perfect career field for me. I am so excited!! 💖
This is amazing to hear. Thank you for your comment!
I learned about this career and really wanted to pursue it, but the powers that be make it really difficult. There is only one college local to me that has this program and they only accept 30 people at a shot.. Id have to take prerequisites first spend money, and than I might not even get into the program and I wouldn't have the extra time to waste being in my mid 30's. I wish I knew about this field earlier in life.. But I was busy doing this job for free taking care of my mother who had a host of medical problems and cancer for years. I could bring that experience with me to this field, but they rather make it extraordinarily difficult and expensive for people.
I know right? these helpful people deserve to have the program cheaper. perhaps you can look into the health corps scholarship for that program. there's also occupational therapist assistants . not sure if they have a program near you. if not, you can take those prerequisites and use them elsewhere like.dental hygiene or nursing, not sure if you're intersted in either of those last two.
xoxXOXO l Def not nursing.. I don't have the stomach for that field. Thanks for the suggestion.. Yeah I don't know, and they make you take that DUMB ass GRE test too.. Such an absolute waste of money and time taking that crap. Every student in the country should refuse to take it,, its a money making scam.
Jenny mss A lot of programs only take a certain number of people.. Where i live, its limited options, and one option is 1500 a credit.. Maybe you are cool with having to pay tremendous loans to get an education and take a dumb test that is completely irrelevant for another 200 dollars. He'll if people don't mind the shitty system, than hey more money in their pockets.. No reason to have to take all these bullshit prerequisites and repeat highschool all over again and pay such enormous fees to have to pay loans off for life. Its a shit system and not everyone has the leisure go switch careers and go through all that bullshit if they didn't start in it when they were young.
Jenny mss Yeah now picture if you were say 35 , 36 with a job and bills to pay.. and you wanted to switch careers. They have it so it would turn away people who might make great therapists and make amazing contributions in the field.. If people have the ability and passion, they shouldn't have so many obstacles to deter people..
Most programs are competitive. I am lucky enough to have 3 near-by schools to apply to but they have a lot of pre reqs and only accept small amount. If you really want to become an OT you have to volunteer with OT's, get a lot of experience to show your passion for it and the rest will come. You'll never know if you can get in if you don;t try. How old are you exactly? The only downside is you would definitely need time to get your BA first.
Great video! Very informative about this particular career field with inspirational music that matches. I loved the enthusiastic ending, too =)
Love it!! That's my dream being an a great occupational therapist
That looks so interesting and fun! I hope I get into a program next year
this video inspired me to want to be an OT 💛
Same
3rd time changing major in 2years but I like the idea of OT.
Wow I love this video: to the point and allows you to really visualize what work OTs do. Thank you!
I'm currently in a medical program at my school. My highschool is a technical magnet school and im excited to learn more about the medical field. The plan is to be an ot. I'm a sophmore now and ready to start learning abt nursing etc...
Really cool people who love helping others.
I have been receiving occupational therapy sessions with Dr Kerri and Mrs Colleen.
I had stroke am at home start therapy next week.
thanks for this video.
where is the LOVE button when you need it?
I see people in this video working with people with whole body movements, but I thought OT was fine motor skills? I will shortly have a bachelor's degree and I think it will be a lot easier to move into OT because it only requires a master's, I can make good money, the job availability is good, and most importantly, I can help people. I'm also very interested in the human anatomy. However, I'm torn between this and PT or PTA. I'm just not sure what the difference really is.
Here are some good links to help you understand the roles of a PT and an OT. A PTA is a physical therapy assistant. You are right - OTs must have a master's degree. A PT must now have a doctorate in physical therapy. Best of luck on your decision both are great fields and you can make a huge difference in the lives of the patients you work with.

Thank you so much for your help! :)
Next January I am going to study OT
私も来年から作業療法士の養成校に通います。素敵な動画ありがとうm(_ _)m
Hello there
Great video :) I recently discovered what occupational therapy is and that it encompasses many different fields. I'm very excited because I feel like I've finally found a career I'd be passionate about
What type of occupational therapists were featured in this video? And would you happen to know the name of the field that specializes in aiding the physically disabled? Such as the people in this video
So glad you enjoyed the video! The OTs in our video work with all kinds of patients at Gaylord including those dealing with a stroke, spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury or those dealing with complex medical issues. Another good resource is the American Occupational Therapy Association: www.aota.org/en/Education-Careers.aspx Best of luck!
GaylordHealthcare so OT is not practiced only in the hospital ...please can you provide me with a brief outlook on the career and a lifestyle ---i just finished my high school and im about to venture in that field if all goes as expected
My dream job :)
The OT's always look so happy compared to other health care workers
Wish I can say that, not nice experience makes, me sick in the stomach thinking about it!
@@hertersarelwhy is that
I study OT, I'm a quiet and shy person. Can i be an Occupational therapist? I really like thus course 😥😥
+Angellea Lampa Beint a little more extroverted would help a great deal. You have to be able to effectively communicate with your patients and other healthcare professionals
my fw instructor said she was quiet and shy when she was a student and I also heard this from one of my OT professors . Amazingly, I could not tell. Experience challenges you to come out of your shell. Do not allow fear to keep you from your dreams :)
This is a great video! I am a professor at a college and working on making a video about occupational therapy. Would you allow me to use some of your footage? Thanks, Aimee
Hi Aimee, we need a bit more info - where are you a professor, how would you use the footage? Can you please email us at publicrelations@gaylord.org and we can connect further. Thanks!
Omg this very informative I learned a lot about ot and I think it s going to be my future job
is no one going to say anything about the name "gaylord"

Great video! Quick question..does a COTA do most of these as well?
Yes! I can’t wait to start the OTA program
i loved the ending lmao
Great visuals. But the listening to the shitty music has indeed made me stronger.
😅 oh man lmao💪
Is this a job that you have to be running around because I always had have back problems, And I want to do something in the medical field but involves childrens.
I am considering becoming an OT but fear I won't be accepted into any master programs. Is there any way I can increase my chances Im in 3rd year so I still have a little time before I apply
Might be a little late, but talk to the people at your school and at the program you want to attend to make sure you have everything in order.
i failed chemistry 2 times and my gpa is too low so i cant become an OT...
I like this:-) :-) :-)
Great video, except the music can be toned down a lil! :)
Hay quá
can you explain about occupation based assessment?
An occupational therapist will evaluate the tasks of daily living like getting dressed, cooking, shopping, getting into and out of a shower, tying shoes, personal grooming, and so forth, and see what the patient needs additional skills for or needs to learn new ways to accomplish in order to be as independent as possible
@@GaylordHealthcare thank you
only two guys. why isn't there more males in ot?
for some reason they gravitate more towards PT
شكرا 💖
what is the tool that she wrapped his arm with?
Did you mean the grey colored technology that is on the fellow's left arm at about the 1:50 time stamp in the video? If so, that the Bioness Hand Rehabilitation system. You can get more info on it here: www.gaylord.org/our-services/rehabilitation/neurological-rehabilitation-program/bioness-system.aspx
yes exactly , thanks a lot , I'm studying Occupational Therapy and this website is really helpful
Great! So glad we could help. Best of luck in your studies!
