Happy Occupational Therapy Month everyone!
I can get a little philosophical about my profession but I really do believe in it's foundation.
It's a cool job.
For all of you who are still a little fuzzy about what we do...
Taken from the AOTA website:
"Occupational therapy is skilled treatment that helps individuals achieve independence in all facets of their lives. Occupational therapy assists people in developing the "skills for the job of living" necessary for independent and satisfying lives.
Every day, children and adults have or develop health conditions that significantly affect their ability to manage their daily lives. With the help of occupational therapy, many of these individuals can achieve or regain a higher level of independence. When skill and strength cannot be developed or improved, occupational therapy offers creative solutions and alternatives for carrying out daily activities."
Have you hugged an occupational therapist today??

Big Hug to our "favorite" OT !!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I remember a comment made by one of your teachers that you were going to be a great OT...
she was right.. you are so compassionate with your clients... you really spread joy all around!
love you more.
Hey Veronica, If you work overtime does that make it, OT OT?
Now for the more important details. Are you throwing a party in celebration of Occupational Therapist Month. If so, am I invited? My Mom just gave me some black and pink knee high socks that say "Disco Queen" on them next to a picture of an Afro wearing sassy chick. I think a fiesta honoring OT's would be the perfect event to wear them.
