What type of psychology classes are needed to become an Occupational therapist, and how would that knowledge be applied to the job?

I'm interested in Occupational therapy and I have looked up the course requirements. Abnormal psychology was a required class and I'm curious as to why, and if taking other psychology courses would be beneficial. #occupational-therapy

If you are interested in studying occupational thearpy as a major, but it is not listed in the majors offered at the school can you study it under another major at the school?

There aren't many schools that I have looked into that offer occupational therapy as its own major and I am starting to question if it is its own major. In addition I was wondering if it could fall into other majors/fields of study in college. #occupational-therapy #college-majors #career...
