As part of the vocational training program at Yeshivat Otzar HaTorah, the occupational therapist divides the students into groups that study various work skills, such as following instructions, ensuring quality, and oversight. The students receive a salary for their work, and they can use the money that they earn to buy things once a week at the special kiosk built for this purpose.
