Celebrate OTA month with an ergonomic workstation assessment
April is Occupational Therapy Month, celebrating the tireless efforts of occupational therapists everywhere. Since 1998, LLCC has educated occupational therapy assistant students. OTAs profoundly impact those they serve, assisting children with developmental delays, supporting seniors in regaining independence and aiding injury recovery.
In celebration, OTA students will offer ergonomic workstation assessments on Thursday, April 25. These assessments identify and mitigate ergonomic risks like poor posture and repetitive strain injuries. A healthy employee is a happy employee! If you experience fatigue or discomfort, register for a workstation ergonomics assessment by contacting Rachel Duff, campus health and wellness coordinator. Spots are limited, so register soon!
