Other disciplines with whom OTs work

OTs work with many other disciplines in order to restore a person's functionality. In class today we reviewed several disciplines that I thought were quite interesting. We may work with these people as a team or receive information from them on our clients. There were lots, like over 20 presented, but some of the more interesting disciplines that I can remember off the top of my head:

(these definitions are not comprehensive. They're abbreviated just to give you an idea of what they do)

Music Therapist-helps people with injuries, illnesses and various disabilities through music. This can be singing, creating a song, listening to or moving to music. How interesting! It's just like OT, but with music!
Art Therapist-helps people with injuries, illnesses and various disabilities through art! Again, just like OT, but with art!
Recreational Therapist-helps people with injuries, illnesses and various disabilities through play and 'fun' activities. Again, just like OT, but with play!

Prosthetist-creates artificial limbs OR body parts. This would be an interesting progression if I want add another skill to OT.

Life Coach-helps people find direction in life, create and reach their goals, fulfill their dreams and find their passions. The most interesting thing about this is you ONLY need to be 18 and pass a little certification course and some Life Coaches can make $90,000 in ONE weekend! I won't give a personal comment on this. Moving on...

Art, Recreation and Music Therapist have similar goals as OTs. OT is just more comprehensive I think. I hope I have the privilege of working with an individual in each of these fields. It would be interesting to observe this type of therapy.
