How has an occupational therapist made a difference in your life?
Here's what some people had to say about the impact MMI’s Occupational Therapists have had on people throughout the community!
When asked how OT collaboration supports teachers within the school setting, one teacher notes that OT helps with readability of writing, which makes grading easier. Another states that they don’t always have time to practice handwriting skills, so it's helpful when OT can target those specific skills and give extra instruction.
One student reports their favorite OT activity is coloring and learning small, tall, and fall letters. Another student states they like getting to work with assistive technology.
In the outpatient setting, an adult mentions their favorite part about OT has been working on activities to support independence around the house with tasks like laundry and cooking.
One mom notes how she likes that her child gets to try out a variety of activities, even when they are not always a favorite and she appreciates how the activities target goals in a fun way that doesn’t feel like work, because they are centered on the child’s interests. The child reports they are excited to come to the clinic each week and see what activities they get to try!
