“No recommendations needed. Already it is an amazing program. It is also noted among the therapy profession as being one of the best schools. I know this because even in Boston they rave about the program.”

“I think it’s an awesome program…I felt very prepared, competent, and qualified to begin work. I had no reservations about starting work and felt I could have gone to any facility and more than hold my own.”
(Peter LaValley, Class of 2002)

 

“The program is as demanding and comprehensive as I imagined it would be. Though at times I wonder how I will make it through the two years, I know I will be a competent therapist when I graduate. All of the courses are occupationally specific, and we are placed in a clinical setting from the start, so we know what to expect and will be well prepared for our future occupations. The program director and clinical coordinator are extremely thorough and supportive in every way. I could have enrolled in other programs to which I was accepted, but I chose Hartford because I knew it had the reputation of being one of the best programs in the country. As a junior student, with 7 ½ months behind me, I can’t imagine there being a better program anywhere. The entire staff is professional, supportive, and active in making sure we get the best education possible. This program is my whole life now, and you should expect to make it yours for two years because there is no room for outside distractions. It is a big commitment to be the best.”
(Bill Bunke, Class of 2005)
