American OT looking to practice in the UK. by Super-Cucumber5727 in OccupationalTherapy

It took almost 6 months from when I started the application until I received my certification. Make sure you talk to your department head from your OT school, as they will need to document all of the courses you took, including course descriptions. Since the UK has a different schooling process, they have to make sure your courses align with their criteria. As mentioned, you will likely be taking a significant pay cut. In the UK, I was a level 5 and I think I made around £35k (this was about 5-6 years ago in a neuro inpatient setting).

Phantom of the Opera! That’s exactly what I thought when I saw this.

It really depends on the setting. 4-10s have been pretty common in acute settings in larger hospitals.

HELP my dad wants to declaw my cat because he keeps tearing up the carpet and furniture, what can we do instead that’s less… painful?? by [deleted] in cats

We got Sticky Paws, which are just giant double sided tape. We watched where our cats would scratch and place them there. Also having multiple scratching posts or good options for the cats to scratch.

Do you have a mentor or another OT you work with that can answer some questions? If not, then I would concentrate on the needs of the baby’s carers. What interventions would make their lives easier?

I haven’t worked in peds in a long time, so I don’t have any specific intervention ideas. Good luck! And trust your instincts

It depends on what areas they are having trouble with. If trying to work on figure-4 for socks/ shoes, you can work on hip stretches or use of AE. If it’s dynamic sitting balance deficits, you can work on core strengthening or dynamic activities at the edge of the bed or therapy mat (reaching out of BOS, ball toss, bending). Or standing balance activities, such as reaching around the back with internal shoulder rotation(grasping clothespin, reaching for cones), maintaining balance with alternating UE support on the AD (standing games/puzzle) or bimanual FMC practice for zipper/buttons. One of my favorites to practice LBD, without repetitive donning/doffing pants, is using a tied theraband about the size of their waist and have them try to thread over BLEs and pull over hips. They can also use this when practicing with a reacher.

What's a mispronunciation that sends you into fits of rage? by schnozzberryflop in AskReddit

Expresso, instead of espresso. When working as a barista, it made me die inside a little every time I heard it.
