@StacyTurkeOT @InghamISD Think of all the kids that have passed through your "office." You have touched thousands of lives!

E. Ann Merrifield, MS, OTR/L. Today is the end of a ten year educational and personal journey to become an occupational therapist. Now to start the employment journey...

@StacyTurkeOT @NBCOT @JodieFowlerOT @AOTAInc Thanks Stacy! You and Jodie were such fabulous fieldwork educators. I feel proud to stand beside you both as an OTR/L.

My job as an OT is not to make a child fit into social norms, but to help that child flourish.

@StacyTurkeOT @otnotes Oh man! One more thing I missed out on in a shortened FW. Your cupcakes!

Started my new Fieldwork 2 yesterday at a brain rehab. I think I am going to love it here. Of course the commute is tough. All 4 feet from my bed to my desk. LOL

@otnotes Try watching youtube videos instead.

@otnotes It intimidated me too.

"Autistic play is appropriate play, but it's often pathologized and labeled as "inappropriate." Play is done for enjoyment and entertainment...that's it. There's no right or wrong way to play." Quote from Randall Therapy & Wellness.
