🎤⚖️ Order in the court! ⚖️🎤

Today’s class transformed into a courtroom, where our OTD students stepped into the role of advocates, decision-makers, and leaders.

Through a structured debate, they tackled complex and controversial topics impacting healthcare and occupational therapy practice.
Developing critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and the confidence to lead in real-world practice.

Duct tape, pool noodles, Velcro, and pure OT creativity…

Today’s MacGyver Challenge had students transforming everyday items into adaptive equipment for school-aged children. Each team pitched their invention “Shark Tank” style to our very serious (and slightly tough) faculty judges.

Safe to say the future of OT is creative, resourceful, and ready to problem solve!

Remember how to play? Our OTD students certainly did today. As part of our discussion on play and leisure, students engaged in a variety of games while identifying the intrinsic elements of play—joy, spontaneity, competition, and social connection.

Experiencing play firsthand reminds us why it remains such an essential occupation across the lifespan. Who knew OT school could be so much?

Hands-on learning with heart.
Our OTD students partnered with Bridges Academy to help set up a sensory room designed to support regulation, engagement, and meaningful participation for students. Experiences like this prepare our future occupational therapists to lead with intention, creativity, and collaboration.
