Hello everyone! I really, really need help. I am a first-year Occupational Therapy student, and as part of my major subject, I am conducting a survey to gain insights into the experiences, challenges, and lessons learned by occupational therapists in the field. This survey is needed for academic purposes. I am specifically looking for professionals who have been practicing as occupational therapists for 5 years or more.

If you are willing to share your expertise and provide insights into your journey, I would be truly grateful for your participation in my survey. Your responses will be kept confidential and will only be used for academic purposes.

The link below is for my form survey:

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!

We are seeking Occupational Therapists (OTs) to participate in a research study about voice assistant technology (VAT) like Amazon Alexa for individuals with cognitive-communication disabilities.  Please share this opportunity with interested OTs! The survey link is below.

This study, led by Yao Du at USC's Department of Speech-Language Pathology, involves:

• 7-minute Survey: Share your perceptions and use of VAT.  Participants can enter a drawing for $10 or $50 gift cards.

• Paid Focus Group (60 minutes):  Select OTs will be invited to discuss designing VAT for this population.

• Free Virtual Training: Adults with cognitive-communication disabilities can learn to use Alexa for daily living activities.

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.

Just to introduce myself. I work for an organisation which specialises in assessing a persons fitness to drive. This is usually after a period of illness (quite often stroke) or a diagnosis of some kind. I have a particular interest in Visual Inattention and ways to assess this especially if a person has aphasia. I don't have any specific questions at the moment but look forward to sharing ideas in the future!

The masterplan portfolio decided by circle is great

thank you for adding me to this group

Hello All!

I have an adult patient who suffered a stroke that has reported issues with her visual processing and visual processing speed. She has completed the MVPT with pretty fair accuracy and had nothing out of the norm in her standard vision screen. The patient also has issues with motor planning/apraxia (attempted to tie her shoes by bringing her left hand to her left shoe and right hand to her right shoe but wasn't sure why she wasn't able to tie her shoes). Prior to her injury, she was a very successful business woman who lived a full life working and traveling.

Should further visual processing testing be done? If so, what assessments would you all recommend? I'm thinking we track her visual processing speeds and try to quicken her pace with a variety of activities.

Thanks everyone!
