    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.

Neuro Note #1 - Concussion

As I was browsing my options on what to write my first neuro note on, I remembered I just recently watched the movie Concussion. This movie is a true story about how NFL football players who suffer repeated blows to the head can develop chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). These repeated blows to the head over time proved to cause brain damage, something that the NFL ignored could happen and didn't even warn players of this risk. We know from class that a concussion is a form of a mild traumatic brain injury. Sometimes the symptoms of a TBI can be so mild that they aren't taken seriously. Any time there is a blow to the head, your brain is bumped to the front and then to the back, called coup and countercoup. This movie really shed light on how a concussion can affect your cognition and present with such symptoms that one is simply not themselves. In the movie, we see Mike Webster's (NFL player for the Pittsburgh Steelers) life after playing for the NFL and suffering...

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...
