Benefits of Speech and Occupational Therapists Working Together: There are many great benefits of occupational and speech therapists working together. The multi-disciplinary approach is one of the most effective ways to see results. This approach encompasses therapy from a variety of viewpoints. During therapy, the patient can get exposure to sensory or motor activities while also working on language. For a speech pathologist, the main focus of therapy is language but sensory breaks can be built into make therapy more fun and interactive. This way, many goals can be targeted and the child is exposed to both language and sensory/motor concerns. For an occupational therapist, while working on motor planning, speech commands and cues are incorporated into treatment as well so that the child is getting language exposure outside of speech therapy. Working hand in hand helps increase the child’s exposure to both types of therapy, making the experience holistic and more successful. #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #occupationaltherapystudent #occupationaltherapyforkids #occupationaltherapyforchildren #speechtherapy #speechtherapist #speechlanguagepathology #speechlanguagepathologist #speechandlanguage #specialneeds #specialneedsparenting

Early intervention is so incredibly important. When we can intervene at a time period when there is rapid brain growth, we can build brain connections that will make exponential change for the future.
Early intervention, or receiving services like speech and occupational therapy before age 3, has been linked to greater improvements in early skill mastery and later abilities. The earlier children can receive assessment, support for areas of difficulty, and progress monitoring, the better their outcomes will be—especially in language. That’s why the jump start that early intervention provides is important.

The National Student Survey of 2024 for the European Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (part-time) highlighted several positive aspects! We continuously work on further developing our programme and take student feedback to heart! 👏❗👇🏽 The program received high scores in areas such as the general atmosphere (4.82), teachers' expertise (4.73), and the quality of the learning environment. Students felt there was a safe climate for voicing opinions (4.89) and appreciated that their personal circumstances were taken into account (4.44). The connection to professional practice also received favorable ratings (4.09). Only curriculum flexibility and the balance between on-campus and online activities were identified as areas needing improvement. This is a we might have to further explore in order to find out what exactly is not balanced well enough. Overall, satisfaction with the program was significantly higher than in the previous year, indicating an improvement in the student experience and engagement. This is something we are really proud of! 😊 https://lnkd.in/dxBt4Six

Understanding my preschooler part 2 Being frustrated with the long waiting list, we luckily found a care (with speech, ABA, sensory integration and occupational therapy) my son recently started, and he has indeed been making progress. As we journey towards providing the adequate support for my bilingual (more like multi- lingual) preschooler, I realised the most important thing is "progress " . Behind every child making progress, is a parent that didn't give up. #earlyintervention #Hyperlexia #ABATherapy #occupationaltherapy #earlychildhoodeducation #education #learningsupport

Occupational Therapy Career Close-Up On a personal note....Chris, our guest, is my niece-in-law 😍 I had the privilege of watching her journey play out. And when, in October, she shared some surprises as a new OT in a hospital setting, I thought - my listeners and teens need to hear this! Highlights: -Job shadowing is critical for deciding between speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. -OT school prerequisites vary, so students must research the requirements for each school they are considering. -OT doctoral programs are very intensive three-year programs with no summers off. -Finding a work-life balance and not taking work home is an adjustment for new occupational therapists. https://buff.ly/3PZwpqb
