Occupational therapists work with people experiencing health problems to assist them in regaining, developing, and building skills essential for independent living, maintaining health, and creating a personal sense of well-being. Presently, SVC has articulation agreements with Adirondack Community College, Berkshire Community College, Community College of Vermont, Hudson Valley Community College, and Schenectady County Community College, and The Graduate College of Union University.
