MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (April 4, 2013) — Milligan College’s master of science in occupational therapy program (MSOT) will host its Occupational Therapy Expo on Wednesday, April 17, from 3-7 p.m. in Milligan’s Gregory Center for the Liberal Arts. It is free and open to the public.

The Expo will give the community a chance to see creations of new or improved adapted equipment, assessments, promotional materials, books and training materials made by second-year occupational therapy students. Continuing education credit is available for licensed occupational therapists who attend the expo.

Occupational therapists work with all ages in a variety of settings. They develop interventions that address individual struggles with physical, cognitive, emotional and sensory concerns. The expo will provide more information about the services occupational therapists provide to individuals and the community.
