Occupational Therapy in the Military | Mom's Education Sites

As America withdraws troops from Afghanistan and the Middle East, we are seeing more and more wounded soldiers returning home. This is because the wars in the Middle East have been fought mostly on the ground, and casualties and battlefield injuries have been the norm. Occupational therapists are responsible for teaching wounded veterans how to live long and productive lives in spite of their injuries and disabilities. A military occupational therapy salary is somewhat lower than those who deal mostly with private clients, however their benefits package is much more comprehensive. They enjoy greater health coverage for themselves and their families. Also the military has a history of paying for continuing education, which is something that all occupational therapists and occupational therapist assistants need to maintain in order to keep up their certifications.
