Educating the Physical Therapy Assistant Students
On Mar 6, 2012, we invited the Physical Therapy Assistant students to come into our class, and we educated them on the profession of Occupational Therapy, and what we will do as Occupational Therapy Assistants. We separated onto 4 different sections, and they rotated about every 15 min.
It was a fun time getting to meet the other students, and I think they learned quite a bit. Our group was in charge on the adaptive equipment for the bathroom. We showed them toilet risers, transfer chairs, adaptive equipment for the showers and tubs, and the smaller equipment that is used in the bathroom. There were long handled razors and nail clippers, bath brushes, mirrors, and just about anything and everything that you could imagine! We had fun as well and they learned a little bit more about the career of Occupational Therapy Assistants.
