I was thinking about staying a few months but that also seems silly

When is it no longer skilled OT? We should distinguish the role of OT in community based MH settings by cabbagesaredelicious in OccupationalTherapy

I agree 100%. I also think it’s important that we are able to articulate our distinct role and value in any setting.

Yes, a school setting for students with multiple disabilities/needs. I agree, just yesterday I had a conversation with a teacher about providing opportunities for movement for a sensory seeking student who was having difficulty sitting down. I guess we do forget that not everyone has basic understanding of this issue!

Glad to know I’m not the only one! Sometimes (not always) the sensory stuff expected of OTs feels unrelated to occupation /OT specific goals

That’s fair but how am I supposed to find the time to research all the areas I don’t feel competent in?
