You are providing wonderful insight into to the field of OT through the eyes of a graduate student. I will be applying to grad school this fall and I am excited at the prospect of finally finding a career that I can be passionate about. </p> <p>I hold a B.S. in Speech Pathology and like you, in regards to PT, felt as though something was missing for me. It has taken almost 4 1/2 years for the proverbial light bulb to go off and I look forward to experiencing all that OT has to offer and what I may have to offer the profession and patients.</p> <p>Are there any books you would recommend for someone entering the field that would provide a general overview/insight? Something that would give the reader a foundation into understanding more about OT? </p> <p>Good luck in your last year of school!</p>
