Logo
The logo of our occupational therapy program was designed by our students, who were the first class of this program. This logo is characterized by three components. These three components represent the important areas in the profession of occupational therapy. These three important areas are occupational therapy for physical disabilities, occupational therapy for children, and occupational therapy for mental health. There is a building embedded in this logo. This represents the occupational therapy in the communities.
