I wish I knew why. Occupational Therapy is pretty straight forward to me - I think the name says it all. I think that most people confuse the "occupational" part. The majority of people I have explained my major to seem to think that occupational therapists are involved in work related injuries. It has to do with our definition of occupation differing from the more commonly used one in our society. I'm not really certain what can be done beyond educating people one person at a time. Maybe it needs to start with primary care physicians. If they had a real grasp on what we can do, then more of their patients/clients would become informed...
