After becoming a licensed occupational therapist, I will take continuing education courses to expand my knowledge and stay current with the most effective treatment interventions. While spending time on the surgical intensive care unit during my level II fieldwork, I have seen many patients with spinal cord injuries. One course I am interested in taking is “Spinal Cord Injury: Splinting”. This course will provide me with information on splinting options for resting positioning and function. For these patients, it is important to prevent contractures and spasticity as well as improve mobility. #SHUOT2024

Functional praxis, motor planning, and visual processing are a few primary outcomes in sensory integrative intervention within pediatric occupational therapy. The visual sensory system significantly contributes to one’s ability to take in and interpret information to produce an appropriate motor response.

I love this brief snippet "day in the life of an OT student" because it shows how even in a mental health setting, the OT/OT student is evaluating for patients' fall risk. A few of my thoughts: --OT is the only discipline that I know of that takes such a holistic approach to health and well-being --You can see some of the OT groups like pottery painting and tea and storytelling sound a lot like things now included in social prescribing! --Social prescribing is not just about prescribing socialization, it is also about prescribing occupations (meaningful activities) which directly impact health and well-being

By 2030, the population of older persons is projected to exceed the population of youth, globally. The demand for healthcare services is expected to increase based on this projection. A call to action for solutions to problems that impact the delivery and quality of care will be needed The following is an inspiring example of a solution to a problem that is focused on improving the quality of care and the experience of the resident. Access to Occupational Therapy services in nursing homes with the province of New Brunswick is a significant challenge. Wheelchair assignments is one area that is impacted by extended wait times. The WRAP program which was inspired by a pilot initiative from an Occupational Therapy during a waitlist crisis was launched as a solution to address this problem. A collaborative working group was formed with community partners, including organizations providing nursing home services to improve service delivery and wait times. https://hubs.la/Q02RSqDy0
