Aliyah Occupational Therapy Interview with Naomi Ferziger Head of the Department of Occupational Therapy at Maon Aleh of Bnei Brak. After two and a half years I transferred to Downstate Medical Center, and I received my BA in Occupational Therapy. Downstate is a large medical center and had a lot to offer academically. The BA granted there is on a level of some masters programs.
Most therapists work at an institution and have private patients as well.
A therapist grows professionally by taking professional courses offered by the ministry of health. This improves your skills as an OT and allows you to advance professionally. I have been working with severely disabled children for seven years. People ask me how I can work with these children when it is so difficult to see progress. After seven years one sees progress and for these kids every little bit helps make their very hard lives just a little bit easier.
