    Katlyn, I loved your video! That is so great that you got to experience so many new things on this FW. I loved your goal to be more organized, I am with you there and would loved to be more organized before Level 2s get here. It sounds like you got to do a lot of hands on this FW which is always exciting! Thanks for sharing and see you soon!

    Katlyn, thanks for sharing your experience! I think it is so cool that you got to see a spinal surgery on your rotation! It seems like your FWEd exposed you to unique things and made the most of your two weeks there. I was in an acute setting on my last Level I and I also enjoyed seeing the OT/PT collaboration with clients as they each can meet the client's needs with their expertise. I completely agree that getting organized is a priority once back on campus. I'd like to get together and see how you're going to organize your notes so we can compare what may be the most efficient method. Have a great summer and I enjoyed hearing about your experience!

Misconceptions of Places an OT can Work

Before beginning occupation therapy school, I feel I had very basic knowledge about where an occupational therapist can work. Of course there are the places everyone knows about like schools, nursing homes, and inpatient clinics, but there are also tons of other settings, that I would have never even thought of. I am learning daily of different places an OT can work, and some of these places blow my mind. For example, OTs can work in the communities with troubled kids or they can set up adaptive equipment in someone’s home. An OT doesn’t have to be in a traditional setting to be doing OT, which is something that is so cool about the profession. The possibilities are endless, and there are always new areas of practice. I look forward to all of the new settings I will be learning about, as I continue my education to become an OT. My learning has been shaped in the short amount of time I have been a student. I have started looking at things through an OT lens. Looking for ways an OT can i...

Dupree Aging and Sexual Health

I learned a lot from the lecture on Aging and Sexual Health. I really liked the approach that Dr. Valli took on aging and sexual health; she helped take some of the confusion and awkwardness out of the subject. Sexuality is a sensitive topic even when age is not a factor, but talking about sexuality with the geriatric population can prove even more uncomfortable for both parties. Why is this? In my opinion it is a lack of information, and comfort around the subject. It was helpful hearing from a sex therapist that there is no normal when it comes to sexuality, so expressing this to our clients may help relax them when bringing up this subject with them. Also I feel like the generation in the elderly role has attributed shame and guilt around sex especially being in the “Bible belt.” It was interesting to learn about the differences between males and females and how they respond sexually, it is also interesting to me how psychological sex is and understanding that can help client intera...

Neuro Note #1

For my first Neuro Note I watched a TED Talk titled, “Meet the Mom who started the Ice Bucket Challenge.” The talk was given by Nancy Frates, and she shared how her son Pete Frates was diagnosed with ALS. I was interested in this topic because I participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge with my college soccer team back in undergrad. At the time I had no knowledge about who started this challenge, and the circumstances that lead this person to start the challenge. Through college I became much more aware of what ALS is because one of my roommates had a family friend diagnosed with ALS our freshman year. The progression of this disease was awfully quick, and honestly very dehumanizing. Through the course of the years my roommate would talk about her family friend it seemed the level of his functioning dwindled so quickly. Towards the end of this man’s life his ability to talk and swallow were taken away from him. This disease is very scary. Physical function is stripped away from a pe...
