    Madison-

    It sounds like you had a great experience and learned so much! It is so awesome that you had the opportunity to educate a client, and even more awesome that she asked to change her routine because of it! It is also so great that you feel so much more confident in you documentation skills! That is something that I want to continue developing as we begin to prepare more for our level II fieldwork rotations. I can't wait to hear all about your experience!

    Madison,

    Your rose is such an exciting thing to hear as a fellow student. We can occasionally feel as if we don't know enough to really make a difference with some clients, but we actually know much more than we think. That is awesome that you providing education to the client changed her routine within the facility! I agree that I feel much more comfortable with documenting now that we have been exposed to it during three different rotations. I can always improve and gain more experience, but it doesn't seem as daunting anymore. I also agree that I need to practice more transfers when we get back to campus in order to better prepare for my level 2 fieldworks. I assisted with a couple transfers this rotation, but I could definitely use a good refresher on the many transfers. I can't wait to hear more about your fieldwork! Great job again!

Reflection on Driving and Community Mobility Lecture

This past week in OCP Older Adults, we had the chance to hear Cody Stovall, MOT, OTR/L, CDRS lecture on his experience and certification in driving and community mobility. There were several takeaway points from this lecture: A driving program involves a thorough assessment of a person’s performance skills/client factors needed to drive a vehicle. An adaptive driving program has 3 purposes:                1. Assess individuals for safety and potential to drive               2. Evaluate persons with physical disabilities for appropriate AE                3. Train individuals in the use of AE and/or compensation techniques for driving If a person has any additional/modified equipment that did not come with his/her original vehicle, that person must have a restriction placed on his or her license for that. This ensures safety in using that modification while driving. Common diagnoses served through adaptive driving programs include stroke, TBI, SCI, amputations, AD, Musc

Post-Mock Interview Reflection

1. How do you feel the interview went overall?  I believe that, overall, my interview went very well. After watching my video, I seemed way more confident than I felt like I was internally. I was able to think quickly on my feet when the interviewer asked questions that caught me off guard or ones that were difficult to answer. I also think I did a great job articulating the message I was trying to communicate and remained calm but professional throughout the entire interview. There were times where I would stumble over my words and struggle to bring my answer back around to what the question was asking. I think this was due to my brain working faster than my mouth could, so I think I can definitely work on slowing down the pace of my talking in future interviews. 2. How did you prepare for the interview? I prepared for this mock interview by viewing the websites that Dr. Lancaster posted, listing some of the common questions from those links, and then brainstorming what I would ans

Reflection of Era Presentations

             One event that affected the field of occupational therapy and really stood out to me today during presentations was the 2010 group's subcategory on technological advances, specifically with iPhones and other Apple products. After watching their video, my eyes were really opened to the fact that iPhones and computers allow disabled or handicapped individuals to do so many things that they would not be able to do without that technology, such as turning on lights, taking pictures, adjusting hearing aids, and typing via visual scanning features. Occupational therapy has definitely been affected by the advancements in technology during the 2010's. There are countless apps available today that can advance cognitive skills and make activities of daily living easier for any client. As OT practitioners, we can suggest to our clients to take advantage of these opportunities of using technology to make life easier for them.
