The Occupational Therapy Program

The Occupational Therapy Program at Green River College is at risk of potentially being cut along with many other programs due to budget issues and enforced by the Program and service Prioritization Process (PPP). This program was employed to help make critical changes in order for the college to experience an enhance of performance and allow programs to work at the highest quality of efficiency.

“I hope these programs, including occupational therapy, don’t get cut,” Lindsay Morris, a counselor at Green River, said.

Occupational therapy is a helpful and beneficial program, Morris said, but at the same time all programs at GRC will be feeling the effects of all the cut backs.

“We need to work together,” Morris said.

An Occupational Therapy Assistant is work in which people dedicate their lives to helping persons that have experienced injury’s or massive disabilities to live productively normal lives relative to what it is they want to accomplish. Anything from assisting people in a variety of work related issues to just day to day leisure activities. All programs being threatened along with Occupational Therapy have the opportunity to come up with new ideas to generate revenue and efficiency as a last chance before these cuts become finalized June 10.
