OTinTraining

Hey Cavin, I'm currently studying to be an occupational therapist and I was wondering what treatment, if any, you received from an OT during your recovery.

Not yet, I'm only in my second year of school. I've gotten to play around with the material used to make them though and that stuff is too cool!!! Did you only see an OT for hand and wrist therapy or did they help you with anything else like toileting (don't have to answer if is TMI), dressing, or feeding yourself?

Thank you so much for your awesome answers!!! Hearing about how OT helped improve your life definitely reaffirms for me my choice in career!! Thanks again for answering my question, I'll have to share all of your progress with my classmates!!

I read the Drawing a Map story and your strength and courage to share your story is absolutely awe-inspiring! All of the progress you have made is incredible, you must have had to work very hard for a really long time to get to where you are today.

Oops, I just saw your ball dribbling video, I'm assuming you worked on that with an OT. (If I'm wrong, please tell me, I'm just excited to learn more about my future profession, especially since I would like to work with clients who have sustained a brain injury) Did you play basketball before the incident or is it something that was developed with you and your care team to work on coordination?
