Observing Occupational Therapy in Practice

Presentation Type

Poster Presentation

Abstract

My poster will shed light on my cooperative education experience observing occupational therapy in two different clinics, UnityPoint Clinic Therapy - North Crossing and Northern Iowa Therapy (NIT). In both settings I was exposed to a wide variety of patient diagnoses and therapeutic interventions. At North Crossing I observed primarily adult patients who worked to enhance their upper extremity mobility, as well as patients with neurological diagnoses. At NIT I observed primarily pediatric patients. My poster covers my personal experience observing in each clinic, as well as research on a few therapeutic interventions I was introduced to.
