Last week, we had a class session devoted to activities. We were placed into groups. We each came up with our own activity analysis, and we completed them with our small group of 4 or 5 people. I was a little nervous about it at first, but when we got started that morning, I realized how great occupational therapy is, and how much fun this profession can be! I had nothing to fear.
In my group, we completed the activities of playing twister, making french press coffee, tie-dye shirts, strawberry smoothies, and chocolate covered strawberries. It was fun, delicious, and it was a great way to start seeing the pieces of our classwork, knowledge, and love for this profession come together and start making sense. We were able to see the potential for even the simplest activities to become a part of someone's journey through therapy, using occupation as an means or as an end.
