Occupational Therapist Observation
After the observation I felt the stress the Occupational Therapist was feeling. I was able to see she was not able to do more class room activities with the student who had a behavioral and physical problem, but I saw she was able to calm the student down before the student became even more agitated and aggressive toward others. I believe the OT accomplished not to have the student's behavior escalate more than what they could have been. I felt the OT ended on a good note with calming the student down before he returned to his class room.

    Occupational Therapy Assistant Case Study

    As my partner and I maneuvered around campus, we came across various barriers which would hinder the best performance of an individual in a wheelchair. For example, in Birch Hall we attempted to access the available study rooms, but the doors to the study rooms are made of thick glass, making the process of opening the door extremely difficult. Moreover, we traveled from the Birch building to the Hickory building, entering a steep path. We identified that a person in a wheelchair could potentially lose control as a result of the path’s downhill nature. In addition, when we reached the Hickory building, we found that the restrooms had no doors. Although, at first, this would appear to benefit an individual with a wheelchair, the walls curved…

    Applying Psychology in the Occupational Therapy Field

    The clients I will be involved with will have many types of personalities and psyches. Many of the clients and their family support will struggle with their emotions due to their injury, disability, or mental health status.

    Field Experience Paper

    The few things I did know about when it came to behavior disorders was that they are one of the thirteen category covers under IDEA. I also knew that when working with individuals with behaviors you have to be very patient and be aware of the individual’s diagnosis. From this experience I learned a lot of the paperwork that needs to be completed for individuals with behaviors disorders. I also got to witness first-hand how to deal with a behavior when it happens. The experience I got to witness first hand was when a male student was sent out of his general education classroom to Kristen’s classroom since he treated his teacher, since she was not helping him with his work. The first thing Kristen did when he walked in the classroom was ask him if he wanted to talk about what happened or take some time to calm down. The student decided to calm down first. Once he was calmed down Kristen walked over to him and asked him what happened in a very strict and calm way. When she finally figures out what happened she explained to the student that he is going to have to deal with the repercussions of his actions as well as fill out a form explaining what happened. This form is used as documentation to see what the student point of view of the…

    Occupational Therapy Assignment

    I believe this assignment will be practical to remember in my career as it just illustrates how important occupational therapy practitioners need to be client-centered. If I had to think of activity plans without talking to the client, I would have thought of activities to improve his range of motion. Even though this is a topic that needs improving, it was not what he wanted to work on first. He wanted to learn adaptions to be able to toilet independently, so he could do that kind of stuff while later improving his strength and range of motion. This helped me understand that even if you see a problem that you would think would need immediate attention, it may not be the what the client sees as an instant…

    This reflection is based on my observations of the need for of effective communication skills and knowledge of nurses regarding the management of aggression in elderly patients with dementia. Clinician need to be equipped with seclusion, medication and de-escalation skills to be able to manage patient aggressive behaviours safely. I have chosen these particular observations after realising how fundamental they are in implementation aggressive behaviour management strategies in patients. While working in mental health I have observed how effective it is to communicate with a patient as a way of de-escalation during verbal and physical aggression incidents. Ford, Byrt, Dooher, & ebrary (2010) point out that it is imperative for health professionals…

    Occupational Therapy Experience

    The experience that had a big impact on my life is going to medical camp. The medical camp was held at our local hospital. The camp allowed me to tour the hospital and speak to workers in various positions throughout the hospital. To get into the program I had to write an essay and have a GPA of 3.5 or better. At camp I was the youngest and the only African American there. While there it opened up my eyes to many other jobs in the hospital that interested me. Prior to going I wanted to be a Pediatrician, but while attending I found two other professions that interest me. The first profession is Occupational Therapy. Occupational Therapy is for people who go through surgery or get into an accident and try to relearn activities of daily living…
