I have had a productive day day, no struggling to keep my eyes open as I have been on the computer for nearly 10 hours.
This morning I went to a meeting with my peer and another OT student to prepare for our clinical skills on Friday, this session was very productive and I feel we have a good structure for the coming session.
After this I came home and I have working away:
-Researched peer reflection and finished my write-up from supervision
-Created a flow diagram of the OT process in school on microsoft visio (a great program to make flow charts – have a look at it)
-Wrote a letter to a parent explaining what the sensory profile is
-Started (but not quite finished) an assessment plan for the child we are seeing in clinical skills on Friday. Although in 1997, I found two good journals that discuss the sensory profile (see reference list below).
Now off the computer for the night and I hope to check in on #OTalk via my phone at 9pm. Tonight we are discussing ‘the bread and butter’ of OT.
See you on twitter.
NOTE TO FAMILY: Hope you have a very special birthday M, and made a wish upon a star today (all will be revealed shortly).
