    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.

BP #6 - Profesional Development

In today's lecture in Foundations, we talked a lot about professional development. Professional development is  planning for and seeking out a cumulative series of opportunities and experiences to ass to one’s knowledge, motivation, perspectives, skills, and capacity for job performance. It is building our path to our career and beyond. To be an OT, one must commit to life-long learning, which is a part of professional development. From this lecture, it made me ponder about plans I have for to grow with professional development and stay committed to being a life-long learner. Continuing ed is something that really excites me about entering into the practitioner field. As I worked as a tech, I remember hearing about all the continuing ed courses upcoming and hearing the therapists talk about them. They all seemed so interesting and enriching. I have set some goals for myself already for when I finally become a practitioner. To grow in professional ...
