Becoming an art therapist includes a number of steps; these requirements are developed and overseen by the American Art Therapy Association. First, aspiring art therapists must earn an undergraduate degree that includes substantial coursework in both studio art (the making of visual arts) and psychology, along with completing a portfolio of original artwork.
Occupational therapists achieve this outcome by enabling people to do things that will enhance their ability to participate or by modifying the environment to better support participation. What does it take to be an OT? An occupational therapist completes a 5 or 6-year post baccalaureate occupational therapy degree. An occupational therapy assistant completes a 2-year associate degree program. Both must complete a supervised fieldwork program during thier studies and pass a national certification exam (NBCOT).
