    Juli,

    I really enjoyed listening to your video, you did a great job! That is really exciting that you got to get a lot of hands on experience. I think that is essential to learning. We can talk about it in class day after day but actually performing the treatments in a real life scenario is completely different. I am glad you got to experience that and it sounds like you learned a lot. Further I agree with you about documentation. I feel that is something I need to work on prior to level II fieldworks. Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a great summer!

    Juli,

    Very well said! It is wonderful you got to solidify your knowledge about hands. For me personally, that will be one of the big things to review for NBCOT. I am so glad you had a great fieldwork experience! As you already mentioned in my video, we have the same feelings towards reimbursement and funding. We are going to be okay!
    Lastly, I wanted to ease your mind about your documentation skills. I have already had an Acute Care placement. The thought of it was more intimidating than the experience. You will get the hang of it quickly, I know it. Thank you for sharing!

Do-Live-Well framework

-
The message of the Do-Live-Well framework is “what you do everyday matters”, and it is essential to one’s health and wellbeing. There are four sections in this framework: 1. dimensions of experience, 2. activity patterns, 3. health and wellbeing outcomes, and 4.   forces influencing activity engagement. This frame work is a guide a person uses to reflect on the time used in occupations. This helps identify disrupted dimensions of experience that interrupts a person’s well-being. An OT might use this framework to assess the time a client dedicates to occupation and compare it to their quality of life. This theory does clearly state what is function and what is not functional. However, I strongly believe functional would be classified as a client dedicating time to do meaningful activities and them being satisfied with their quality of life. Overall, this framework aims to empower people of all ages to reflect on their patterns of activity engagement, in order to promote health. ...

Dr. Lela Llorens

Dr. Lela Llorens caught my attention during era presentations. Dr. Llorens was the first person of color to be awarded the Slagle Leadership Award in 1969. The Slagle Leadership Award recognizes occupational therapist who have contributed to the growth of the body of knowledge through research, education and clinical practice. Receiving this award is an honor for any occupational therapist, but being a person of color to receive this award during the Civil rights movement is monumental. It is makes me proud that the career of occupational therapy saw the importance of equal rights and made the initiative to change.

What is universal design? The definition in the TED talk I feel explains it perfectly “it is the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for or adaptation or special design” (Nesmith, 2016). I have never heard the term universal design or thought about how much planning goes into everyday environments. An example given in the TED talk is how door knobs are difficult for children or people with arthritis. To solve this problem the sliding door was invited and now no one struggles or feels left out. Universal design can be so simple, but creates a world of difference for everyone!   Honestly, I had never heard of Paralympics. I was amazed at the creativity of accommodations made so that people with disabilities can participate in events. For example, vision impaired athletes were able to compete in cross country skiing, by being led by a guide. I was stunned! I couldn’t imagine flying down...
