Overview

An Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy Assistant is a versatile healthcare professional who assists licensed occupational therapists and physiotherapists in providing comprehensive rehabilitative care to patients. With a broad skill set, they support individuals of various age groups in enhancing their physical, cognitive, emotional, and developmental well-being. By implementing treatment plans, guiding patients through exercises, teaching adaptive techniques and monitoring progress, these professionals contribute to improving functional independence, mobility, and overall quality of life. Their dedication helps patients recover from injuries, surgeries and medical conditions, facilitating their journey towards regaining strength, flexibility and overall physical well-being. Ontario has seen a growing need to support the aging population, individuals with disabilities as well as those with rehabilitative needs or injuries. Occupational therapists, physiotherapists and their assistants are much needed health care professionals responsible for helping individuals to recover and maintain their physical abilities while managing functional limitations associated with a range of acute/chronic conditions. Unique to Seneca’s approach, in the first semester of the program students will learn two-eyed seeing; a theoretical concept of seeing the world through both Indigenous and Western perspectives. The program delivery model will explore a mix of delivery modes that include an in-person hands on component as well as online, hybrid and flexible classes. Students will gain practical experience in our brand-new, on-campus simulation lab and through robust work placements that span more than 500 hours. This allows students to apply in-class learning to a workplace, while building a professional network and ensuring them are career-ready upon graduation.
