    Mandy! I loved your video, you hit on so many amazing points. I agree with you about having a go to set of interventions that can help us in the beginning and then we can tailor them to each person. That is so exciting that you got to come up with an intervention and that she is going to implement in the future, that is really encouraging. It seems like you got some good exposure to the mental health scope of practice in occupational therapy, and I bet that is going to help you in whatever setting that you go into. Thanks for sharing your video, I am excited to hear more about your experience!

    Mandy,

    Great video, thank you for sharing your fieldwork experience. I was really interested to hear how you time went at this facility since I will be doing my level 2 there in the fall!! I too agree that it will be helpful to have go to interventions that we do with clients. I feel like this will come when we become more comfortable with different client groups and settings. I also think it will be difficult for me to interact with some the people and with diagnosis that are at this setting. There is an art to redirecting and keeping clients on task and that too will just come with practice! I can’t wait to hear more about your experience!!

"Inside the O'Brien's" Reflection

Era Presentation

One thing I was really interested in was how much occupations involving play/leisure have changed in just 70 years as technology and culture progressed.   From what I gathered from a collection of all of the groups is that the war had a lot to do with such change in society.  In the 50s, leisurely time consisted of being outside or outings with friends with the people of that era having the first skateboard and dancing to the Jive.  With the release of television, Nintendo, Gameboy, and the internet (just to name a few) the 2010s group had a great representation of how much more time people were spending inside and/or in less active ways with a graph that showed the plethora of screen time and little to no exercise.  OTs can play a vital role in helping people come up with more creative ways to spend their time!
