    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!

TED talk 4/3/17

The TED talk was very motivating. I felt that Aimee was such strong person and very inspirational. I agreed with everything she was saying and found it shocking the way disabled is defined in dictionaries. Society should define who and how one is disabled, rather that is something that is more internal and how that person chooses to view or accept their current status. In Aimee's case, she was a bilateral amputee, but did not allow that to set her back in life. Instead she used that motivate herself and prove to society she is capable of achieving what others are, if not more. We need more people like Aimee in our society, to send a message that disabilities are not limitations necessary in life but rather how we choose to move on and accept these changes is what defines us.

12 Step Meeting Reflection

After attending a 12-step meeting, I  could really see the group process and the effectiveness of group therapy. I attended a NA meeting where the role of the facilitator seemed to be advisory because he was somewhat of a passive leader in that he let the group make pretty much all of the decisions and group members were of a higher functioning cognitive level. The facilitator encouraged participation by asking the group what they wanted to talk about today and opened the floor for anyone who wanted to share something. He would ask for a volunteer to read aloud certain handouts but other than that, the activities were decided by group members. Members were not forced to share but everyone ended up sharing on their own. I felt the environment had a positive impact on the session because it was held in a quiet church building which seemed welcoming and the windows were open so it didn't seem so claustrophobic. The environment was also familiar t...

BP#7 - Fletcher Cleaves

The other day in Neuro OCP, we had the pleasure of having guest speaker Fletcher Cleaves come in and share his story about his injury. In 2008, Fletcher was in a car accident and as a result, left him with a C5 complete SCI. He talked about the accident but more so focused on his life since and how it has impacted him. I was amazed at how positive and motivated Fletcher was coping with his new way of life. He left us with a message of "the sky is NOT the limit." When in the hospital after his injury, doctors told him he wouldn't be able to live on his or achieve half of the things he has already done. He made a point to prove them wrong and used it as motivation. Fletcher inspired me in many ways. One thing that really stuck out to me was when he told us how long it takes him to get ready in the morning. If he had to be somewhere at 9:00, he would have to wake up at 5:30 in order to be on time. Of course I understand it would take him longer, but never did I imagine tha...
