  • I’m a PT Asst. I’ve worked with a lot of OTs and PTs in outpatient, hospitals, rehabs, and schools. If you ask them why they became therapists, most will say that have experienced a need for therapy or have had a family member who has. Like anyone, we like money, but it’s not the reason we chose this job. It’s easier to deal with dementia, autism, behavior issues, non-compliance, difficult personalities, etc. when the person is not your family member. We don’t take it personally. We get a cool rush when people learn/relearn things. After a great session we feel proud of our patients and the work we’ve done with/for them.
