on the OTher hand

Hello everyone, my name is Silvina Caivano-Alejo and I welcome you to, “on the OTher hand” blog at:  http://myot.edublogs.org/. Society today needs to know more about the function and significance of an occupational therapist (OT) along with the growing need for their intense forms of therapy. OT’s strive to help people of all ages enhance daily living activities, if necessary, with the aid of adaptations for the facilitating the persons needs. OT’s help a large range of patients including premature babies, children diagnosed with autism, adults with disabling diseases, elderly who have taken a harsh fall, or anyone who has endured any form of an accident. Many people end up in the care of an occupational therapist at some point in their lives. This blog will give you insight on the different therapies available and the type of therapy which is most beneficial for each individual person. This blog will enhance my education as I become a registered occupational therapist in the near future. In addition, this blog will inform my readers on options available to the countless infants surviving birth at young gestational ages, the  millions of children with disabilities (especially autism), and those individuals whom are faithfully living beyond their 90’s, all of which on a day to day basis struggle with basic living skills. Due to a staggering number of individuals needing assistance, the demand for occupational therapists is substantially growing.  An OT’s vision is to help those in need adapt to life with a disability or return to the previous ways of living through adaptations in ones environment. Enjoy my blog, and keep in mind that you may be the one needing an OT in the near future.
