New Member-OT student/CP caregiver

berhoades

Hello everyone! I am a caregiver to a girl with CP and I am also an occupational therapy student. I joined this forum to be a part of the community, share experiences, and ask questions for an assignment in my class but also for myself to be better and learn! I hope we can have great conversations and appreciate any advice or tips you would like to share with me!

These are my top tips for therapists:

Encourage the kid to slowly push himself. Be positive too. Celebrate all progress too. You also might find this article helpful to read. https://www.nhsggc.org.uk/kids/resources/ot-activityinformation-sheets/occupational-therapy-hints-and-tips/
Set goals. Review them frequently as well.

Yes! This article discusses many ideas we have been taught in many of my classes so this is a great resource for me. Thank you so much for taking the time to share!
