School-based occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists encounter distinct challenges that impact their service delivery. These professionals must integrate therapeutic practices within educational frameworks, collaborate effectively with teachers, and meet the varied needs of students. Understanding these challenges is essential for enhancing student outcomes and ensuring effective therapy in schools. #SchoolHealth #OTPTSLP #TherapyChallenges #Education #StudentSuccess #InHealthStaffing https://lnkd.in/eVd2NbpB

Curious about how often OT's and Speech Pathologists change roles?🧐 Based on LinkedIn reporting, the average tenure in Australia for these positions is as follows: Occupational Therapists: 1.7 years ⏰ Speech Pathologists: 1.3 years! ⏰ ⁉ Are you as surprised by these numbers as I was? What can employers do to extend tenure and avoid their clinicians changing roles? #SpeechPathology #OccupationalTherapy #JobMarket #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment

Why choose #OccupationalTherapy as YOUR profession? Join #OccupationalTherapist Tehya as she reflects on her journey: "I worked as a recreational therapist at a skilled nursing facility. I enjoyed what I did, but I wanted to do more. Like most skilled nursing facilities, there were physical, speech, and occupational therapists. All are amazing professions, but one particular therapist was different. The labeled "most difficult" patients loved working with her. She turned negative situations into positive, enjoyable experiences. She made those who felt small feel loved. That's when I knew what I wanted to do; I wanted to make everybody feel like a somebody in a world that tries to make everybody feel like nobody. And with OT, I knew I could accomplish that."
