    Laken,

    It is very impressive that your educator actually set aside the time to assess your learning and discuss how you could get more involved in this fieldwork experience as time progressed. The willingness of our educators to facilitate learning can definitely make such a difference in our fieldwork experiences, and that's so awesome that she was eager to teach you and get you involved. I am also curious to learn more about specific OT treatment for different conditions/diagnoses as we get back to campus since I feel like that will be very helpful knowledge as we enter Level 2s. Great job, Laken. I can't wait to hear more about this rotation from you and how you grew as a future OT during your time in Georgia!

    Laken,

    I love that your fieldwork educator set aside time to discuss all of the OT sessions you had seen each week. I am sure your understanding grew tremendously during those discussions. My fieldwork educator would frequently ask me if I had any questions so that she could ensure I gained as much as possible from this experience. It sounds like we both had wonderful fieldwork educators! I agree that I would really love to learn more interventions to use with clients when getting ready for level 2 fieldworks. I would feel much more confident as a level 2 fieldwork student and novel practitioner if we reviewed interventions that would be great for treating certain conditions or injuries. Great job, Laken! I can't wait to hear more about your fieldwork experience!

"Au-Some Swimmers"

     Every time I think I know just what occupational therapy is I learn something new about the profession, and I think that is what's so awesome about this profession. This week I listened to a podcast called "'Au-Some Swimmers': Role of OT in Swim Lessons for Kids with Autism". From listening to this podcast, I've learned more about who occupational therapists are and what they do. I've learned that there is so much more to occupational therapy than I first thought. In the podcast, Kim Persons and Nick Murray were interviewed about helping lifeguards teach kids with autism how to swim. When Nick Murray was a student at the University of Buffalo, he had to go to a site were there was no occupational therapy, but where there could be. His group chose to go to a Jewish community center and get connected with the lifeguards there. Nick Murray and 3 of his classmates discussed with the lifeguards what exactly they needed help with at the center, and what the...

Psychospiritual Integration Frame of Reference

     The Psychospiritual Integration Theory is a Frame of Reference. This theory emphasizes the nature of spirituality, the expression of spirituality in every occupational behavior, the nature of spiritual occupation, and the influence of spirituality and spiritual occupation on well-being. It does this in six different dimensions: becoming, meaning, being, centeredness, connectedness, and transcendence. This theory categorizes spiritual activities to create a greater understanding on occupations. Psychospiritual Integration can be used with all populations: child, adolescent, adult, and elderly. It is intended to be used with clients who are experiencing spiritual deprivation. To be considered "functional" according to this theory is to not be lacking in any of the six dimensions. An occupational therapist will assess the the spiritual occupations of the client to determine if they may be going through spiritual deprivation. Some key terms addressed in this theory are: ...
