Occupational therapy (OT) is a health and rehabilitation profession that serves people of all ages who are physically, psychologically, or developmentally disabled. Their functions range from diagnosis to treatment, including the design and construction of various special and self-help devices. OTs direct their patients in activities designed to help them learn skills necessary to perform daily tasks, diminish or correct pathology, and promote and maintain health.
MSDH reported 1,218 licensed occupational therapists and 670 licensed occupational therapy assistants on its Mississippi roster as of November 9, 2020, with 1,085 of OTs and 611 of OTAs residing in the state.
