Neurodivergent OTs

Hi, good day everyone! I’m a 1st year Occupational Therapy student, and for one of our OT103 (Foundations of Occupational Therapy 2) tasks, I need to interview an OT who has been practicing for over 5 years. If you have free time and you’re willing, I’d really appreciate the chance to ask a few questions or get your written answers. A screenshot with you (when we zoom/meet online) is also part of the requirement but optional. Thank you so much, and I hope you can be part of this learning activity!

please send me a direct message if you're interested! Thank you so much!

Great to see these groups forming a valuable resource. Being neurodivergent myself, I understand the struggles and have built my USP around managing these differences through nature-based therapy. Having struggled to pull myself through burnout using these methods, I have built a unique program directly from my experience.

Hello all,

I'm Nicci and I was diagnosed at the age of 36 with dyslexia and ADHD (inattentive type).

I'm an OT apprentice and currently in my 3rd year. How I've gotten this far I don't know! But it's been incredibly helpful to finally understand why I've always struggled with studying, along side other various struggles.

Thank you Danni for creating this group, I look forward to reading about other people's experiences and learning from you all.

On a side note, I'd like to put out a request for any possible help with a current uni assignment.

We've been asked to either write a protocol or present a poster, promoting an intervention plan in a diverse setting.
