TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 2018 MY OT STORY: BY KATHLEEN SHANFIELD This year, I was honored with the OTAC Practice Award! I was humbled, surprised, excited, and so honored to receive this recognition. I am usually the one “giving” awards and bringing others up to the podium, but what a thrill it is to actually “receive” an award, too! This has truly inspired me to become more involved in my professional organization, OTAC, and to “give” and “receive” all they have to offer. Thanks, OTAC!!

MY OT STORY: BY RONDALYN WHITNEY I met a teen who was struggling with 10th grade. He was failing math and science, and because of this had to stop participating in choir and lifeguarding. Working with the school, I helped them see that participation in meaningful activity would help with obligatory activity. With OT tutoring that was differentiated for his learning disability, he not only graduated but went on to a BA degree in neuroscience. And, I have his CDs from his choir’s tour in Europe.

MY OT STORY: BY GABY BELMONTE I was inspired to start a career in OT when my grandmother was prescribed services. I was a big part in her daily routine. Once I started doing observational hours in OT, my inspiration was reinforced when working with a child who could not walk. After 8 weeks he was up walking and having the time of his life. His laughter was the bestreward!

MY OT STORY: MICHELLE What a small world! Since I have entered OT I have realized what an amazing and connected field this is. I once missed the train and decided I would ride my bike around San Jose for an hour. I found a park, and in the distance an open hula hoop class (hula hooping is my favorite occupation)! I was welcomed into the class and was chatting with a lovely woman about life, explaining I was new to SJSU. We discovered similar interests, and best of all we were both OTstudents!

MY OT STORY: BY CAITLIN With San Jose State students and faculty from the PT Department, I was able to travel to Finland to take seminars with other allied health students from around the world. It was an amazing experience to collaborate with OT students in Finland and learn about their successful healthcare system. We have so much to strive for in increasing healthcare access for those who live in the US and I think the profession of occupational therapy can do so much advocating for our clients and future clients!By: Caitlin

MY OT STORY: BY AMY
I became an OT to of course help others and didn’t know how much OT would end up helping me. I got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis on my Level 2 fieldwork before I ever took the NBCOT exam. This was initially devastating but in the past six years it has helped me find my passion of neuro rehab. I can relate to patients on another level having been through my own challenges.By: Amy

MY OT STORY: BY RAECHAL JACALA I’d like to thank my OT education for giving me the knowledge about occupation across the lifespan. I’ve been able to apply that knowledge every day, whether it be helping my grandma who has dementia or giving my nieces sensory activities to engage in. I can’t wait to learn more throughout my OT career!By: Raechal Jacala

MY OT STORY: BY FRANCETTE CASTILLA One favorite story of mine is from my Level 1 fieldwork site. I got the chance to collaborate with the OT and create a low impact hula dance intervention for a patient who had a stroke. The intervention was client centered in that she was a former dancer who loved dancing. The intervention brought her joy while working on integrating and strengthening her right upper extremity through dance. By: Francette Castilla, OTS Posted by Unknown at4:05 PM

MY OT STORY: PHOEBE YAM During my Level 1 fieldwork I was at a pediatric clinic. One of the children I saw was born without a corpus collosum. The first day I met him he was working on independent sitting and trunk control (at 10 months old). He made so much progress that by the last day of my fieldwork I got to see him crawl on his own for the very first time! His face was so happy and his mom looked so proud of her son. All the hard work the OT and family did really paid off.By: Phoebe Yam

MY OT STORY: BY ALYSSA LOCSO When I was in college, I was figuring out what I wanted to do. I went to the career center and saw a binder called “Occupational Therapy”.

MY OT STORY: BY ANITA NIEHUES I was fortunate to work in an early intervention program seeing a little boy who had not yet developed speech. He and his family were dealing with a condition that created extra cerebrospinal fluid. The family has many specialists coming to their home and they made regular trips into a big city to have tests and drain the fluid. One day we were just goofing around with foam letters and “launching” them from a busy box. The little boy hit his mom in the face and we all broke into laughter. The mom said she couldn’t remember the last time they had laughed. It seemed to offer a break in a long, serious path they had been travelling.By: Anita Niehues

MY OT STORY: BY ANONYMOUS I started in PT but when I moved to the US my only option then was going to OT school since at that time OT was an undergrad program and PT was a graduate program. My initial career plan was to finish OT then pursue PT, but because I fell in love with OT I stayed with it. OT is very unique and it just made sense to me what OT does for patients. There is a lot of room for creativity which is great. I loveOT!

MY OT STORY: BY BRYANT EDWARDS I first started working with “Jonas” when he was about three years old. Jonas had autism, was non-verbal, and had difficulty participating in most activities. I remember that Jonas always gave me a workout- he’d frog hop across the room, swing and spin with reckless abandon. He was always loving, but always moving. I felt I struggled working with him, until I received a letter from his mom thanking me because that year (age five) he was finally able to sit on Santa’s lap for a photo!!

MY OT STORY: BY MATT SCRABIS I was working in the mental health field but had lost interest in pursuing a graduate degree in social work. I didn’t know what to do. That was when I discovered occupational therapy. I was drawn to its diversity, the fact that I could still work in mental health if I wanted to, and that I could still work directly with clients while earning a good living.By: Matt Scrabis

Watching clients open up and respond to therapy as OTs built rapport with them was really inspiring. After connecting with a patient over our mutual love of baseball and watching her blossom, Iwas hooked!

The therapist’s skill in holistic and meaningful rehabilitation made a huge difference in the quality of my family member’s life. It is OT’s emphasis on both the art and science of therapy that inspired me to make it MY profession.By: Matt

MY OT STORY: BY ANONYMOUS Veterans with PTSD completing a SCUBA diving certification and provided with mindfulness strategies enabled them to be more “occupied meaningfully” with their time and improve their family and community relations. This community project with a non-profit organization allowed OT to shine enough to have these veterans come out of their shells using mindfulness techniques OT taught them fordaily living.

MY OT STORY: BY BILL WONG OT has given me not only a career but improved my quality of life. I say that because I am an autistic OT and I have used OT services during my time in OT school. Through OT interventions, I was able to improve my social skills. Because of that, I now am a globe-trotting OT talking about the distinct values of occupational therapy. Also, I am giving back to the OT community by serving in the AOTA Representative Assembly and being featured in two TED Talks! By Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L Posted by Unknown at3:47 PM

MY OT STORY: BY LORA WOO Over a quarter of a century ago, I had the privilege of working with a teenager who sustained a C3 traumatic spinal injury. We’ve kept in touch over the years, now decades. He’s graduated from college, purchased and renovated his home for accessibility, and participates in leisure activities with family and friends. Now as I teach as an adjunct, he has been a guest speaker in my class, sharing his experience living with a spinal cord injury and its impact on his occupational engagement.

MY OT STORY: BY MICHELE BERRO I happened upon OT somewhere on my path to becoming a social worker and due to the soft spot in my heart for kids with developmental disabilities. OT was a perfect fit with my social justice leanings, my belief in intrinsic motivation, and my personal value of daily routines and meaningful activities. How could this awesome profession be hidden from my view until my last year of college?! I couldn’t wait to immerse myself in everything occupational therapy! I enrolled in the OTA program at LACC while finishing my senior year at UCLA. I graduated from UCLA and LACC the same June and immediately went to work as an OTA while simultaneously taking prerequisites for the Master’s program in OT at USC. I started my OT career in mental health and loved it! After several years I switched to acute rehab and loved that too! I have had the opportunity to work as staff OT, supervisor, academic instructor, and OT director. I finally found my way to Rancho – a place like no other. The history, the mission, the patients and staff are truly inspirational!! What a privilege! As we celebrate our 100th anniversary I thank our courageous founders for conceiving such a worthy profession, one I continue to believe in after nearly 40 years of practice! What luck to have found OT, a career I’ve always considered a calling rather than a job! Here’s to the next 100 years. Long live OT!! By: Michele Berro, OTR/L Posted by Unknown at3:44 PM

A TRIBUTE TO AN OT PIONEER: BY MICHAEL DAVIS AND DIANA SU-ERICKSON A Tribute to an OT Pioneer. Miss Edwina M Marshall started her journey in our profession by receiving the very first scholarship given by the New Jersey Rehabilitation Commission, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in OT in 1953, and later working for five years as an OT. She was approached by leadership in the Adventist Healthcare System and named Department Chair at Loma Linda to create the OT program which opened in 1959. She knew that higher education was important in academia and later obtained a Master’s degree from USC in 1964. One of the many talents she possessed was her ability for scholarly writing. She wrote several syllabi used at the LLU campus and at campuses throughout the US as few traditional textbooksexisted.
Miss Marshall knew the significance of OT in clinical services “To Make Man Whole” and established the professional services known today at Loma Linda University Health. She wrote and received state grants in the early 1970s that resulted in the creation of two mobile units for home services throughout the Inland Empire. During her tenure at LLU, she was recruited as a consultant in the development of six OT programs in the US and Japan. She has been a mentor and educator to hundreds of OT students. In 1985, for her exceptional work and contribution, Miss Marshall was recognized as a “Fellow” by the AOTA. She was an advocate for those with physical handicaps, serving on many local and regional advisory committees to implement solutions encircling the tenets of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In 1992, she was honored with the OTAC Lifetime Achievement Award. Miss Marshall retired in 1993 after thirty-five years as a Department Chair at LLU. Her colleagues recognized her unparalleled contributions to the OT profession and granted her Emeritus Professor status. In 2014, she was nominated as a founding member and distinguished leader into the “Leaders and Legacy Society” of the AOTF. She has spent her lifetime as a maverick, leader, and visionary for OT.

MY OT STORY: RACHEL KEEFER ZEC While volunteering at the VA in preparation to apply to OT school I met an inspiring OT, Julia. She showed me how to interact with clients, build rapport, and think outside the box. Before I started I was still on the fence to whether I wanted to pursue a career in OT, but Julia’s passion, ability to work with clients, and calm demeanor solidified my decision. She takes time out of her day to put theclients first.

MY OT STORY: MONICA SORIANO As a student my favorite OT moment was during my level 1 fieldwork at a SNF. One of the residents was extremely motivating. She was about 85 years old and was always motivated and prepared to do OT each day. She would start the session doing the bicycle and would always make it her goal to do 100% during the activity. She was determined to get discharged and return to her previous home and continue living her independence granted by OT. By: Monica Soriano, OTS Posted by Unknown at3:35 PM

MY OT STORY: BY ANONYMOUS I was a level 1 fieldwork student in a hospital. My patient was in his 70s, post-stroke. He had a favorite occupation- playing Mah Jong! As a treatment idea, I asked the patient to stand and stack Ma Jong tiles while I facilitated using NDT techniques. After the treatment, I asked my CI how I did and she said “okay” but my patient asked why he had to stack the tiles. I realized that I just used the activity to facilitate and completely overlooked what it meant to the patient. It was then devoid of meaning, and not an occupation.By: Anonymous

MY OT STORY: BY CINDY GARCIA As a level 2 fieldwork student I was in a locked psychiatric unit. One of the male residents had depression. He remained in bed, in a darkened room, buried under his covers, all day and night except to go to the dining room. Every day I invited him to groups. Eventually he started talking to me when I invited him. By the time I left he was coming out of his room and sharing family pictures with me. I heard he was able to discharge, reintegrating into the community after I left. It was very motivating to be a small component in his recovery and return to the community!

MY OT STORY: BY ANONYMOUS I was working in a county hospital where many patients presented with a long history of life challenges prior to admission. One patient had been without permanent housing. He survived a stroke, reclaiming ambulation and most of his ADLs. He lived off the streets by fishing at a pier and gathering scraps from restaurants. As part of OT we planned all of it- traveled to the ocean, fished off the pier, returned to the hospital to clean, prep and cook the fish. That was our lunch that day. He was proud to offer me food! I helped him advocate to discharge to the “home he knew and wanted- the streets. He was of sound mind to choose it and did not want a SNF or any other options. He was grateful his autonomy was regarded with respect. I then knew that patient-centered care starts and ends with the parameters the patient sets. The feeling of restoring emotional and social independence as extensions of functional independence wasunforgettable!
