Occupational Therapy and IT...?

What computer course would go well side-by-side with Occupational Therapy? I am interested in health as well as computers.

If I were you, I would look into various forms of assistive technology and pursue it as a specialty area. You can work with touch screens, specialty switches, and robotics. You can learn about and design programs for people with visual impairments, speech impairments, or motor impairments.

Voice output and speech augmentation technology is a growing field because of all of the children with autism spectrum disorders who do not or choose not to speak.

Another area to consider is electronic and/or motorized wheelchair technology. Individuals with high level spinal cord injuries or those who have lost the ability to use both their arms and legs use switches operated by their shoulders, heads, tongues, breath, or even the pupils of their eyes. These switches can operate their wheelchairs, computers, or other electronic devices in their environment.

Lastly, you could look into myoelectric prosthetic technology. Artificial limbs can be very advanced in terms of technology. Science is getting closer to making prosthetics move more natural (powered by nerves and muscles) and technology is a big part of getting there.

I hope this helps you to figure out where you might want to go with your career. Occupational therapy is a wonderful field with lots of possibilities for specialization. I hope you have an exciting and successful future. Good luck.

I would suggest ergonomics as a place to get involved in. The problem with disorders related to computers is not going away and this is a good place to be to cover both sides of your interest.
