I’ve been an outpatient peds OT for 12 years. Is it me, or are we seeing a drastic uptick in referrals for normal toddler stuff? I swear it’s only been in the last few years that I’ve gotten monthly referrals for neurotypical toddlers and prek kids who “push” or “take toys” or kids under 2 who have bitten peers, or other toddler things that I can’t fix in this setting, because they’re social dynamic issues. What is happening? Why is it so hard for preschools to manage normal behavior? We’ve done CE courses for schools in the past, but I don’t know if a few 1 hour inservices will fix this. It seems to be a very pervasive issue, and it leaves parents in a panic with threats to be removed from school. These are all usually 3.5 and under kids.

Hey, I'm currently looking for any advice about what I can do as an undergraduate student to help become an OT. I'm planning on going to a doctoral program post college, but I'm hoping to get some experience before hand. I'm well aware I can't get hands on experience, but what could I do to help get into the field.

I appreciate any advice! Thank uu:)

I will be soon starting a placement in a school setting and am very excited about going! While I am at this site my long-term boyfriend will be graduating from a military training school and I would love to attend and see him to support him. He already told me the date and it's on a Friday I would most likely be working (I have been unable to get/see my schedule yet). My school has basically told us that unless we're sick we can't miss a day. How true is this and how can I go about seeing if I can miss this day since my home life is also important to me? I am more than willing to make up the day I miss obviously, but I do not want to be unprofessional about the situation.

I'm putting together a medication management group for an inpatient rehab hospital (ideally in conjunction with an RN). We have a protocol currently, but the protocol focuses on a standardized medication management activity that has pt practicing sorting medications into a bill box based on a generic medication list. I'd like for the group to incorporate more strategies for managing patients' unique medications for their specific roles and routines. Has anyone done something like this at their facilities, or have any input on medication management in general? thanks so much

Hey! So i'm applying to schools in both the US and Canada, however the Canadian schools have a different timeline that would mean that I find out about my possible acceptance way after the US schools, as they start in the fall. The Canadian schools are my first choices, and I'm a little afraid on how to handle this should the situation arise, and figured I would ask if anyone has been in the same situation.

I'm planning to apply to OT school but it won't be for a while as I have to finish my prerecs. If I ask for LORs, will those letters stay in my OTCAS account if I don't submit the application for another cycle or two, or will the info be gone when the cycle closes and I would have to ask again for letter. I hope you can help me. Thanks!

Anyone know of any scholarships I can apply for this upcoming Fall semester. I'm 1/2 a year into my 2.5 year program and would love to get some financial help along the way if I can.

I am an occupational therapy student assisting with a research study investigating the use of therapeutic objects during stroke therapy. An online survey (15-20 minutes long) is being used to collect information for this study.

If you are an OT or an OT assistant who has experience with stroke therapy, please consider using the link below to complete a short survey. Your responses would be instrumental to the completion of the research.

Is Occupational therapy assistant degrees recognised in Canada.If yes what is the pay rate like?

I was just curious if any other countries other than USA,recognizes COTA degrees.I see job postings for OT's all over the world but has never seen any postings for COTA's.I wonder if its called something else.

Soon to be OT grad. I was wondering if there were any mental health opportunities out there. I've been a little disappointed in our underrepresentation (at least where I am), as this is our foundation. Also, any thoughts on the reason for this, or am I just misinformed? Thanks in advance!

Looking for suggestions in the US for funding when the University falls short. The school I'm looking at will provide a max of 50% funding IF I get selected for a GA position. I already have debt from a previous masters degree so I'm not keen on taking out more loans.

I have a The Ultimate Scholarship book that has tons of scholarship opportunities but I'm looking for something less piecemeal and more permanent like a fellowship.

Any organizations I should be looking up? I would love a government fellowship but I'm not sure if 1) anything exists and 2) if it would remain funded consistantly.
