is used during therapy and why it is beneficial to the kids and

Change from Physical Therapy to Occupational Therapy I have
decided that I would like to become an occupational therapist, so I
would like to observe more in that field and learn more about what
kinds of therapy can be used and what types of goals occupational
therapists work on. OBJECTIVE #2
Slide 7
What is occupational therapy? Occupational therapy addresses a
persons ability to complete their daily activities. That may be
self cares like dressing, bathing or grooming skills. Homemaking
skills like cooking and house work and career skills. For children
we address play skills and school skills like cutting, coloring,
and writing as well as self cares. As pediatric occupational
therapist/assistant big focus of our treatment is on the childs
regulation system and their engagement with you and their peers.

Slide 8
Volunteer Rehab Assistant primary duties The mission of our
Rehab Assistants is to assist, encourage, and support therapists
and patients to ensure therapy sessions are successful. We strive
to do our best to help in therapy sessions, and to make sure the
facility is kept cleaned throughout the day for the safety of our
patients, staff, and visitors. Complete all of the tasks on my
to-do list. However I need to become more aware of what else needs
to be done without someone telling me to do it. For example, I need
to take initiative to clean the rooms and toys without being asked
and doing it in a timely manner so that the rooms can be used.
