    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

Media Project: The PlanHand

Image
The media project I think intimidated us all as we first read the instructions and realized what we had to do.  I know I first thought, "Ahh, I'm not ready for this!"  It took me awhile to brainstorm how I felt my assigned item could best help Alice adapt to her MS.  I really wanted to help her shower mobility since that seemed like such a dangerous situation but with a degradable item, that was a challenge.  The first idea that hit me was some sort of cuff made by the empty toilet paper roll cut in half around her forearm connecting to something to her hand.  Then, I thought about her fine and gross motor coordination deficits along with her decreased sensation in her hands.  I tried to focus the purpose of my creation around her goals which were to keep doing what she's doing.  I then began thinking how I could turn this mystery arm-bracelet-hand-helping-machine into helping Alice prepare dinner, get ready in the mornings, and organize her thoughts....
