What can a game teach us about participation? 🕹️🃏♟️

A lot! In labs, OTD students use something as simple as a round of UNO to dig into positioning, endurance, fine-motor demands, and how access to play changes the whole experience.

For many people, play is a meaningful activity, and OTs exist to help people participate in what matters to them.

What's an activity that means something to you?

Care starts before the task. 🤍

Here, our OTD students are taking a moment to rest and connect with their client before beginning oral care, because rapport is a part of the process.

Sometimes the most important thing a student can practice is slowing down.

Myth: OTs only work with people recovering from injuries. ❌

Reality: "occupation" just means any meaningful activity you need or want to do. This could be brushing your teeth, cooking dinner, or playing a sport.

OTs may find themselves helping young students learn how to follow directions, participate in tabletop learning tasks, and engage in fine-motor activities, all while considering the physical, cognitive, and environmental factors that affect each individual, allowing them to tailor treatment accordingly.

Thumbs up for orthotic fabrication! 👍

These students just finished fabricating their own delta cast wrist cock-up thumb spica orthotic, and they've got the proof to show it. 🙌

Someone tries it one way. Someone else tries it another.

Every individual brings a unique perspective. Learning in a close cohort lets students compare notes, test approaches, and learn how to interpret a situation so that the client receives the best outcome.

No one figures it out alone. We’re in this together! 🙌

Ever had someone give you instructions that you couldn't follow? 🤔

During labs, our OTD students take turns as both practitioner and client, feeling the pace, the physical demands, and even the uncertainty of a new task from the other side.

It's not a real client experience, but it's enough to prompt important questions about comfort, dignity, communication, and choice.
