You could do Play Therapy!

You'll need a BSC in occupational therapy, which is a 3 year course. You'll have to be a registered professional to work, so no individual subject is going to get you very far! I work with OT's daily and it's a great profession, so good luck!!

I would say anatomy, physiology and maybe psychology, but these might be incorporated in the ot course. Good luck
