Auerbach School of Occupational Therapy
Promote Wellness Through Purposeful Practice
Spalding University’s Auerbach School of Occupational Therapy (ASOT) equips students with the expertise, commitment to care and real-world learning experiences they need to meet the needs of the times. Our evidence-based programs prioritize rigorous academics, community outreach and practical research with the support of welcoming, expert faculty eager to empower students to promote wellness.
Available Programs
A major lesson I hope students take from our program is to continue to seek the “why” in what they are doing, whether it is the treatment they are providing for patients or something related to their personal lives. I want students to explore best practices to make the profession even better for the next generation. I teach compassion and understanding not only from the patient’s perspective, but also from working with family members, colleagues, and really, whomever is at the receiving end.
