Occupational therapists (OTs) work with people who have injuries, illnesses or disabilities to help them build vocational and daily living skills for independence. At Saint Ben’s and Saint John’s, we help students start that journey with a strong science background, immersed in the liberal arts and enhanced with powerful, valuable co-curricular learning experiences.
