I am Keya Raje, a Counseling Psychologist and Co-Founder, Brain Checker, I have been working as a Career Counselor and Mental Health Professional for last 10+Years. In this article, we will be talking about <strong>An Occupational Therapist | Eligibility | Salary | Scope<\/strong>. So let&#8217;s begin.<\/p>\n<p>An occupational therapist is responsible for providing medical help and\/or rehabilitation to individuals suffering from functional disabilities that prevent them from leading fully functional and healthy, independent lives, in the workplace and\/or at home. These patients\u2019 disabilities generally stem from physical or mental illness, aging, developmental problems, and\/or emotional problems. Occupational therapy employs various exercises and physical and mental activities meant to challenge and thereby further improve and develop motor and sensory perception, judgment and problem-solving skills, cognition, hand functions, and hand-eye coordination. Patients with physical limitations that cannot be healed or cured are taught how to circumvent those limitations to manage everyday activities and work-specific tasks independently, sometimes through physical or mental exercises, and sometimes by using specially designed devices.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_17 counter-hierarchy counter-decimal ez-toc-grey\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Article Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"display: none;\"><i class=\"ez-toc-glyphicon ez-toc-icon-toggle\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1\"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brainchecker.in\/blog\/an-occupational-therapist-eligibility-salary-scope\/#Eligibility_Criteria\" title=\"Eligibility\u00a0Criteria\">Eligibility\u00a0Criteria<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brainchecker.in\/blog\/an-occupational-therapist-eligibility-salary-scope\/#Salary\" title=\"Salary\">Salary<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eligibility_Criteria\"><\/span><strong>Eligibility\u00a0Criteria<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The\u00a0requirements to become an occupational therapist\u00a0are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>10+2 with at least 50 percent marks.<\/li>\n<li>A Bachelor of Occupational Therapy. , ( a four and a half year program )<\/li>\n<li>A six-month internship.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainchecker.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-6-Occupational-Therapy-Practice-Areas-infographic-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"359\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brainchecker.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-6-Occupational-Therapy-Practice-Areas-infographic-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brainchecker.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-6-Occupational-Therapy-Practice-Areas-infographic-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.brainchecker.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-6-Occupational-Therapy-Practice-Areas-infographic.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 359px) 100vw, 359px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For<strong> admission to the MOT program<\/strong>, the candidate should have passed<strong>\u00a0Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (B.O.Th.)<\/strong> from an institution recognized by UGC securing at least 50% marks in the aggregate.

The average annual pay for a physiotherapist in India might range from Rs. 93,957 to Rs. 7,14,762.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Occupational therapists find jobs<\/strong> in hospitals, private clinics, health centers, rehabilitation centers, and NGOs. More than one-third of occupational therapists work part-time.<\/p>\n<p>In large rehabilitation centers, occupational therapists may work in spacious rooms equipped with machines, tools, and other devices generating noise. The job can be tiring because therapists are on their feet much of the time.<\/p>\n<p>Those providing home healthcare may spend time driving from appointment to appointment. Therapists also face hazards such as back strain from lifting and moving clients and equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Occupational therapists, in recent times, are increasingly taking on supervisory roles. Due to rising healthcare costs, third-party payers are beginning to encourage occupational therapist assistants and aides to take more hands-on responsibility. By having assistants and aides work more closely with clients under the guidance of a therapist, the cost of therapy should be more modest.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>earnings of occupational therapists<\/strong> are no less encouraging. They work on a full-time or part-time basis in hospitals\/rehabilitation centers to earn a handsome salary. Graduate occupational therapists get starting salary ranging between Rs 8,500 and Rs 11,500 per month. However, with one or two years of experience, remuneration increases. In private hospitals and NGOs, the pay package is higher.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information on this and other research from Brain Checker, please visit our web site <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>(<a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brainchecker.in\">https:\/\/www.brainchecker.in<\/a>)<\/strong> <\/span>or call us on our National <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Helpline at <strong>+<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">91-9970057774<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>or fill out the inquiry form<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> <a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/rb.gy\/udteaf\">https:\/\/rb.gy\/6b1zpp<\/a> form<\/span> and our team will reach out to you shortly.
