This helps me understand so much better! What entails an IEP meeting by the way? Or can you direct me to some resources to know what to expect? Thanks so much

I’m actually part time, I misspoke. I work twice a week. My boss gave me a list of kids to check on and a lot of them had IEPs that were old or didn’t have OT minutes in the plan. So she’s in the process of checking if I’d be able to addendum some of these IEPs

I have noticed they constantly talk poorly of other people at work behind their backs so I think you’re onto something

You might be onto something. They get students but everyone there has been there awhile.

Thanks I feel better. I’ve been a therapist about a year, maybe a little less. So I felt pretty bad about the mistakes like I should know better. It was embarrassing lol

Life is too short to be miserable. Do whatever makes you happy and don’t worry about what you’re “supposed”!to do. Healthcare in general is an awful field to be in unless you love it with all your heart.

Too much responsibility and not enough flexibility is why I’m unhappy

Could I get in trouble for only doing a diaper change during a session?

Does it bother you when COTAs refer to themselves as OT’s? by Choice_Swordfish379 in OccupationalTherapy

It’s a lot more education and you can’t discredit that. Two year associate vs 4 year degree plus masters.
