The Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (BOT) is an undergraduate professional degree program focused on helping individuals overcome barriers to participation in meaningful daily activities. As a general specialization, the BOT curriculum covers human anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, psychology, and the principles of occupational therapy. Students learn to assess, evaluate, and provide intervention for individuals across the lifespan who experience physical, mental, emotional, or developmental challenges impacting their ability to engage in occupations (daily activities like self-care, work, education, leisure). The program emphasizes developing practical skills in designing and implementing therapeutic activities, adaptive equipment, environmental modifications, and client-centered interventions. Clinical placements and hands-on training in various settings, such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, and community health programs, are integral components. BOT graduates are prepared to work as occupational therapists, helping clients achieve greater independence, enhance their well-being, and participate fully in life. The degree fosters a holistic approach, considering physical, psychological, social, and environmental factors in treatment, and promoting the client's overall health and functional capabilities through purposeful activity.
