I wanted to share a video that I created for my foundations class, that allowed me to process and define what occupational therapy is. Before school started, I thought I knew a lot about OT and its role in helping people. However once school started it did not take long for me to realize that most of my ideas about OT were incorrect. Occupational therapy really is such an incredible profession because of its depth and scope of practice. I love that this profession looks beyond someone's brokenness or disability on the outside and instead see's a person, a grandmother, a gardener, a cook, or any aspect that make that person an individual creation. We are being taught how to see clearly and how to take really hard situations and "make lemonade". It's beautiful and I am loving every second of this journey to becoming an OT. Here is the video that I designed to share what I believe OT is. It's like an elevator pitch and explains the profession in such a way that it is easy to understand.
