From Preparation to Purpose: Getting Started in Unique OT Niches

Animals and Aquatics

In this episode of Animals & Aquatics in OT, co-host Gina delves into the theme of "Getting Started" in unique OT niches like hippotherapy, aquatics therapy, or nature-based therapy. She emphasizes the importance of preparation in three key areas: work, business, and legal considerations. Preparatory activities in OT serve as warm-ups, stimulating sensory systems and muscle groups to prepare clients for functional activities. Gina breaks down the preparation process, discussing the significance of skill development, adaptability, networking, market research, business planning, financial considerations, and legal compliance. She highlights the need for specialized training, market analysis, and relationship building to successfully transition into these niches. Gina concludes by inviting listeners to join her in the "Nail Your Unique OT Niche" series for further exploration and guidance.
