Historical Note
The mission of the Wyoming Board of Occupational Therapy is to develop, impose and enforce standards which must be met by individuals in order to receive a license as an occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant to insure public protection; receive, investigate, and take appropriate action with respect to complaints; and promulgation of rules and regulations.
Occupational therapy is skilled treatment that helps individuals achieve independence in all facets of their lives. Occupational therapy gives people the "skills for the job of living" that are needed for independent and satisfying lives. Services typically include: customized treatment programs aimed at improving abilities to carry out the activities of daily living, comprehensive evaluation of home and job environments and recommendations on necessary adaptation, assessments and treatment for performance skills, recommendations and training in the use of adaptive equipment, and guidance to family members and caregivers.
Occupational therapy practitioners are skilled professionals whose education includes the study of human growth and development with specific emphasis on the social, emotional, and physiological ffects of illness and injury. The occupational therapist enters the field with a masters, or doctoral degree. The occupational therapy assistant generally earns an associate degree. Practitioners must complete supervised clinical internships in a variety of health care settings, and pass a national examination. (taken from the WBOT website April 2020)
