One of the best OT sessions I have ever had. Not only did my extremely talented step-daughter design and implement … But the client absolutely loved it. I am so thankful that I absolutely love my job! #OTLife #OT #occupationaltherapy #angrybirds #kidsareawesome
Everything that OT’s really do!
Reading about abusive men and the way they think. Very unsettling and an incredible book so far. Here are my very professional notes.
what book is this?
This is from “Why Does He DO That” by Lundy Bancroft.
I’m so glad I’m seeing more and more Lundy Bancroft quotes on my dash because this book CHANGES THE LIVES OF ABUSE VICTIMS. The programs run for rehabilitating abusive men through the courts? Bancroft DESIGNED THEM. His programs are replicated ALL OVER THE WORLD. He literally wrote THE book on abuser rehabilitation.
Here’s a link to a pdf copy. If you haven’t read this book yet, read this book.
Can we talk about how it seems like the entirety of the book is online on PDF, this making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection?
That is how we stop abuse.
We enable everyone to know what it looks like, so that when it happens, they can shut it down.
Arm yrself with knowledge!
Changed my life, would reccomend.
Reblogging for the PDF link.
—BB
Always reblogging because this isn’t just a partner abuse thing, this is a common abuse tactic PERIOD: Parents, siblings, bosses, general assholes, etc…

new link (the old one is broken)
Pretty sure I’ve reblogged this like eight times, don’t care.
It was a sick session 😁
“Occupational” interventions have the following characteristics to varying degrees: purposefulness or goal-directedness; meaningfulness to the individual; wholeness or finiteness, an inherent beginning, middle and end and the multidimensionality possessed by an activity in context, the human and his or her multiple systems-emotional, cognitive, perceptual and physical-interacting with the environment

What do you do? Occupational Therapy! (Part 1)
Hi everybody! Occupational therapy first year second year student here to answer the question, “So, what is occupational therapy exactly?”
Many people in the medical field may have heard the name or have some vague concept about what occupational therapy (commonly abbreviated OT) is, but others may have not, and certainly there are a large number of people not in the medical field who have no idea what this is. In fact, it’s probably easier for me to start by explaining what OT is not:
Occupational therapy is not career counseling. (That’s the name of my blog!) Yes, the independent words seem like synonyms of one another, but they’re totally different things.
Occupational therapy is not physical therapy. A lot of times, they get prescribed together (OT/PT), to the point where medical providers act like “oh-tee-pee-tee” is one long, bizarre word meaning “please exercise this guy”.
Occupational therapy is not just group craft time, nor is it artistic busywork. Many OT providers do choose to use art as a component of their therapy (which I’ll explain more about later), myself included. Sometimes laypeople and even medical providers look at this and don’t think it can have any value because on the outside it looks fun and playful. Because everybody knows that in order for therapy to work, it has to be super boring, and the minute you start to have fun it ceases to be therapeutic!
Okay, so those are probably the most common misconceptions about what occupational therapy is not. So we’re back to our original question, what is occupational therapy? That’s a good question, and in fact, the American Occupational Therapy Association is currently in talks to agree upon a simple definition encompassing exactly what we do, which will be announced at the 100th Birthday of OT happening in 2017.
In the meantime, we’re having to get by with our own simple definitions, and here’s mine:
Occupational therapy is therapy that focuses on an individual’s ability to enjoy life the way they want to as a measure of success.
That means that, for an occupational therapist, the most important measure of whether they are succeeding in providing therapy is whether or not their patient is able to participate in the things they want to do. Right now, if you’re in the medical field (or even if you’re not), you might be scratching your head and saying “uh, isn’t that what every medical provider wants?” And the answer is, yes and no.
So let me break this down a little further.
The reason the name “occupational therapy” confuses people (see: not career counseling) is because in our society, our “occupation” specifically means our job. But in occupational therapy, an occupation is defined as any meaningful activity that a person does to occupy their time. Under this definition, your job is definitely still your occupation, but so is being a parent, going to school, playing with your pet, engaging in your hobbies, participating in leisure activities, and so on.
It encompasses all the roles in your life (employee, parent, sibling, student, child, friend, volunteer). And, here’s the most important part: your occupations are totally different than somebody else’s occupations. You may be the same age, live in the same area, and have the same diagnosis as someone else, but your therapy will be totally different because it’s going to focus on the crucial aspects of what make you, you!
This is not at all to say that other medical professions don’t care about you as a person, or that they don’t know how to adjust their tactics to fit their patient’s personal needs. Not at all! Good medical professionals in every field will have elements of this holistic viewpoint in their practice. But at the end of the day, if a surgeon has a guy open on his operating table, it doesn’t matter whether this guy uses his knee to play basketball, to perform martial arts, or to dance at the grocery store and embarrass his kids; all that matters is that the surgeon needs to replace the knee. (Cue kneeologists correcting me in the comments.)
But when the guy is recovering from surgery and learning how to do things again, his occupational therapist will be the one taking that into consideration.
We’ll look more at how OTs do that in Part 2 of this series!
Constraint Induced Movement Therapy is indicated for children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy, and promotes the use of the affected arm and hand for long periods of time. This initiates and stimulates neurological changes and subsequently improves function of the affected limb. I came across this video which shows some fun ideas for therapy and is generally just heartwarming 😊

Sometimes just knowing the numbers isn’t enough. Over 1400 innocent people Slaughtered in just one day.
It would be a shame to scroll over all these bodies without making Dua’ for each one of them and their loved ones. “May the eyes of the cowards never sleep.” - www.LionofAllah.com
As every practicing therapist knows, designing a successful treatment process for a patient goes far beyond grading tasks to increase motor and cognitive skills. It involves creating therapeutic experiences in which patients must deal with very imperfect bodies, often with dying bodies, and still find some reason to struggle for a meaningful life.

I tried O.T. (occupational therapy) thinking “ why not? It helps “low functioning” autistic people. maybe it will help me…insurance totally covers it. why not? “
My life has been changed by o.t. going just once a month….its amazing, do it!
One of the best OT sessions I have ever had. Not only did my extremely talented step-daughter design and implement … But the client absolutely loved it. I am so thankful that I absolutely love my job! #OTLife #OT #occupationaltherapy #angrybirds #kidsareawesome
You should check out TherapyShoppe.com!
I found this really great website the other day! It has all kinds of stuff that’s designed to help kids and adults with autism, sensory issues, motor skill issues, developmental disabilities, all kinds of stuff! Even if you’re just looking for something to fidget with or something to chew on instead of you pencils, they’ve got great stuff. They’re all very reasonably priced and shipping is decent.
They have lots of fidget toys, stress balls, and putty to keep your fingers busy
Lots of handwriting helpers and various pencil grips
THESE SUPER DUPER AWESOME READING HELPERS !!!!!1!
Stuff to strengthen fine motor skills
Lots of stuff for sensory needs, from earmuffs to weighted lap pads and blankets (they don’t have adult sized blankets and they’re kinda expensive, but hey) to stuff you can nom on
They also have lots of kits that are basically a grab bag of different things based on needs
Basically, if you’ve ever said to yourself “God, I wish I could find something to help with ___” you should check this place out.
Also, I have absolutely no idea how to tag this so people who need it can find it, so if you do the rebagel, add some helpful tags, pls.
condoms are doing it right
If you’re healthy you probably don’t realize how demoralizing it is to spend all day in a hospital gown
But now a new collaboration is designing fashionable hospital gowns to encourage sick teens that they’re not “just a hospital patient.” See how they react when they try their new robes on.

Occupational therapy practitioners can provide cognitive rehabilitation to help a client work on strategies to compensate and incorporate daily activities into therapy. This can help clients regain as much memory as possible, participate in their favorite activities as fully as possible, and to address areas of concern. (AOTA)
