    Hi Lauren!

    I'm glad you were able to see such a different side of OT. I'm sure you'll carry some of that knowledge into your career to help with recommendations for your clients who could benefit from hippotherapy. I'm really looking forward to the management class too. Working with Quisia really opened my eyes to how much about reimbursement and billing that I DON'T know yet. I'm also in acute care for my first Level II, so hopefully we can do some reviewing for that! Cheers from Canada, eh!

    Hi Lauren,

    It sounds like you got to see a very unique side of OT that many people do not get to see! I am interested to learn more about OT vs. therapeutic riding. Did any of the OTs or instructors there have any specialty certifications? I know this is a very specialized field, so I was wondering if they had any qualifications that set them apart. I was in acute care for this Level I and it was AMAZING! I think you are really going to love it! If you need any tips, tricks, or advice feel free to reach out to me and I can try to help with any questions you may have. Have a great summer break!

Journal Article Reflection

The article I chose looked at the effect of group-based OT on improving ADL  performance  and satisfaction in patients who  had  strokes. The studied included 14 participants who had a stroke and they were  assigned to either the treatment or control group. The treatment group consisted of 6 group therapy sessions that focused on mobility exercises, crafts, and cooking, where as the control group received traditional OT interventions individually. The study concluded that doing daily activities, crafts, and mobility exercises in groups can affect the performance and satisfaction level in stroke patients. After reading this article, it goes to show that performing ADLs in groups can not only improve performance in that ADL, but also help increase sense of satisfaction. I think doing ADLs in groups with people who are similar to you can be beneficial for support and provide more meaning than performing them individually. It is interesting to see...

BP #5 - Clinical Reasoning

Today in class, we spoke a lot about clinical reasoning, what is it and how does one get it? Clinical reasoning is the thought process you use as a practitioner to evaluate clients and make clinical decisions. Clinical reasoning helps one carry out the whole OT process. It is not something that is learned or taught overnight, but rather is formed over time. You cannot just "study" how to become good at clinical reasoning, but our fieldwork experiences and what we learn in OT school can help shape our clinical reasoning. This particularly stuck with me because this is something that is best learned by experience, which I believe is the best kind of learning. From my past clinical experience as a tech in multiple settings, I feel as though I have already gained useful knowledge that has already started to shape my clinical reasoning. Experience is what makes you be more confident in clinical situations which is crucial to shaping our clinical reasoning.

Case Study - Tyler SCI

Today I learned about a boy named Tyler who suffered a SCI when being dropped out of a helicopter. Hearing his story was very eye opening to think about his daily struggles and what he encounters on a daily basis. From what I learned about Tyler, he likes to be very independent and doesn't want anyone treating him differently because of his injury. Tyler spent 3 weeks at Shepherd Center and he says the coolest thing about OT was how they treated him. They treated him just like any other client, regardless of his level of injury. They motivated him to succeed and get better. What I found particularly fascinating was how much determination Tyler has. After spending time in Shepherd Center, he came home and enrolled school shortly after. He also is already back to driving with an adaptive truck and his injury happened less than a year ago. What I take away from this story is how important it is to motivate your clients and how much self-determination can help one succeed despite the i...
