I truly enjoyed doing this media project. Initially, I had no clue of what I would do with a zip tie. The most meaningful part out of this entire thing for me is when my clinical reasoning kicked in. I have struggled with thinking like an OT, so when the idea came into my mind I was like, "YESSSSS!" One thing that I learned from this assignment is that it is okay to read between the lines. I came to the decision to use the zip tie and beads one because Ms. Barbara enjoys arts and crafts, but it was also mentioned that she needs minimal assistance for feeding which led me to believe that her fine motor skills were decent. This would help to work on it that way she can continue to remain at that level and not lose function. I believe that this assignment will help me in the future by always knowing that you can create a therapeutic activity pretty much out of anything. It has reminded me to be resourceful and useful. It has made me tap into a creative side that I didn't think I had. I am so ready to see what other things I create and how I continue to develop my OT perspective of things. Thank you to Dr. Lancaster for providing us with the opportunity to put the books down and have a little fun while also learning through this process.
I had a hard time trying to add the video directly to the blog. I have attached a link to the video uploaded on Youtube.
