We, the Howard University Occupational Therapy faculty, envision a state-of-the-art Department comprised of multiculturally competent faculty who are experts in theory, research, and clinical practice and dedicated to preparing leaders of excellence in diagnosing and solving problems of human occupation and performance.

The Howard University Occupational Therapy faculty of the Division of Allied Health Sciences is committed to teaching, research, and community service directed toward: 1) the reduction of barriers that prevent individuals from achieving a mastery of occupational behavior and performance; 2) addressing emerging health and health-related needs of blacks and other underserved populations; and 3) promoting the role of occupation in the solution to human and social problems in local, national, and international communities.
