The College OT develops resources for professionals who aid students in preparing for or attending post-secondary education. Resources and targeted support assist professionals in reducing preparation time, enabling them to dedicate more time to making a meaningful impact.
The College OT Vision
I aspire to see college students not just succeed, but thrive, through the lens of occupational therapy. By extending support to professionals, we can ensure more students receive the necessary assistance to flourish.

About The College OT
My name is Karen Keptner and I am The College OT. I have been an occupational therapist (OT) for over two decades and have worked with people of all ages (don’t know what an OT is?). I work exclusively with college students – teaching, working with them as an OT, and doing research that helps us know more about why and how students with all backgrounds and abilities succeed. Feel free to reach out for more info, ideas, request new info, or collaborate at kkeptner@gmail.com.
