Fletcher Cleaves
On April 26th, Fletcher Cleaves was a guest speaker in our Neurological Aspects of OT class. We watched his video about the accident and it sent chills up my back. It was a very effective way to advocate for safe driving. Fletcher has such a lively and happy energy about him when he speaks. It's nice to see how positive he is about his situation. He isn't able to change his circumstance so he makes the best out of his situation. It was eye opening to hear about how Memphis has a very limited number of accessible apartments for people in wheelchairs. Because I am a typically functioning human, I don't really think about accessibility of buildings and housing. Fletcher gave me hope that if I ever had a SCI, that I could still live a happy and fulfilling life.
Lauren,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a good experience while on your last level 1 fieldwork. Even with being in different settings, it seems as if our occupational therapists had similar roles. I'm glad that you mentioned you needed to review pediatric milestones in preparation for your level 2 because this is something that I need to review as well. It hasn't crossed my mind because it is my second level 2 and I think I'm more focused on my first one. Can't wait to be reunited once we're back on campus. Thanks for sharing!
Great post Lauren! I have never been in the outpatient setting either, so I was glad to hear about your experience. It sounds like the outpatient setting is a lot like inpatient rehab in that strengthening is a main focus. I feel like I have a lot of work to do on childhood milestones before taking the NBCOT exam. Have a great summer and see you in a couple of weeks!
