Working for clients with mental, physical, or developmental disabilities, occupational therapy aides help develop goals for their clients and then work towards achieving them during daily or weekly sessions. If you'd like to get involved in this profession, you'll need an associate's degree or diploma to get started. Luckily, many training programs are available online to get your occupational therapy education underway. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of occupational therapists is expected to grow by 27 percent or more through 2014.
