We are in our last year of Occupational Therapy school. On numerous occasions we have been asked to describe what exactly we have been learning about for the last three years. "What's the difference between OT's and PT's?!" "Do you help people find jobs?!" "What else do OT's do besides handwriting?!" These are often the questions that we are faced with. All this has made us recognize the need to expand the knowledge of our future profession to "outsiders." We have decided that a blog would be an excellent way to provide this information to others. Additionally we hope that other Occupational Therapy students and Occupational therapists will read our blog to discuss various fieldwork placements that they have been at, to comment on the experiences they have had, providing essential tools that students may need to have a successful experience and lastly to offer treatment interventions that they have utilized and have proven to be beneficial.
Each week we will ask a new question, offer our own insights and we hope that others will follow and provide their own perspective on the proposed topic.
