First-year OT students got hands-on with a spaghetti tower challenge 🍝🏗️
What seems simple reveals so much—communication, frustration tolerance, problem-solving, and flexible thinking.
In mental health OT practice, activities like this help us observe how psychiatric symptoms can impact group participation and daily functioning.
Learning through doing 💡
