Occupational Therapist who is passionate about advocating for OT practitioners with disabilities, adoptees, and assistive technology! Let’s connect

Finally had the opportunity to provide Occupational Therapy services to a Deaf Client. Being able to communicate with the patient in ASL, which is their primary communication was so powerful! We need more Deaf Health Care professionals! #deafhealthcare

@SigningOTQueen Look up “deaf” by National deaf center. https://t.co/oFP29d33bt
I am and always will be Big D Deaf, and I do not use assistive aids, and talk fine. I like this definition since it recognizes the fluidity of identity.

@Symbolic_Life @AOTAInc Wasn’t @AOTAInc this time! They’ve been awesome whenever I bring it up to their attentions. I just keep advocating and hope it’ll be easier for the next student ☺️

Accessibility challenge of the day: Paid and free Resources to help you study for the NBCOT exam still do not have the options to turn captions on. Then when you reach out, you’re told it’s not possible.... it shouldn’t be this hard 😭 #DeafOT #accessibility

When you assign your high school social skills girls group to go outside to enjoy the nice weather for homework, and they all manage to give you an excuse on why they can’t.... #pediatricOT #SchoolOT #onlineclasses

@Symbolic_Life Congratulations! What a lucky boy!

When you work super hard on your thesis survey.... 😢 how do you not take these comments personally? #thesis #gradschool

Thank you @repmarkpocan for co-sponsoring #Citizenship4Adoptees! As a WI resident, I appreciate you fighting for adopted Americans like me and urge you to move #HR2731 to the House floor to ensure #adoption means a permanent home for ALL #adoptees.

[Anna Bruckbauer @TheDeafOT]

I live in WI, I’m an adoptee, and I want @SenRonJohnson to co-sponsor the Adoptee Citizenship Act #HR2731 NOW! We’re counting on leaders like you to pass #Citizenship4Adoptees and ensure ALL adoptees have the rights we were promised.

[Anna Bruckbauer @TheDeafOT]

Thank you @SenatorBaldwin for co-sponsoring #Citizenship4Adoptees! As a WI resident, I appreciate you fighting for adopted Americans like me and urge you to move #HR2731 to the House floor to ensure #adoption means a permanent home for ALL #adoptees.

[Anna Bruckbauer @TheDeafOT]

I’m an #adoptee w/ citizenship but Anissa’s story could easily have been mine. We need #Citizenship4Adoptees! @RepKenBuck @RepMcClintock @RepDMP @RepGregSteube @JacksonLeeTX18 @RepArmstrongND @RepLouCorrea https://t.co/pqQgfHnxef

Brace yourselves!! 35 minutes left until a Twitter storm is about to happen! #adoptee we have to unite to continue the fight! I’ve signed my letters, and my tweets are ready to go! #HR2731 #Citizenship4Adoptees

[Anna Bruckbauer @TheDeafOT]

This angers me that this is something #adoptees even have t be fighting for! I’ve got my tweet ready to go

Accessibility challenge of the day: the NBCOT study pack Intro video does NOT offer the option to turn on closed captioning. @NBCOT Companies need to provide captions when spoken words are provided. Let’s make Becoming an OT more accessible. #otstudent

[Anna Bruckbauer @TheDeafOT]

Someone got their head stuck on the handle of this bag... and then spooked himself enough to empty his anal sac on my leg. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #dogmomlife

[Anna Bruckbauer @TheDeafOT]

When you haven’t touched your thesis in a couple months.... and decide your survey needs to be re-written again.... good bye graduating on time.

[Anna Bruckbauer @TheDeafOT]

7 month old puppy mounted my leg today.
Others: OMG STOP ✋ That’s awful.
Me: awwww my baby is growing up so fast 😢

Did you know it’s actually a way puppies can release excited energy and it’s usually not sexual.
#puppylife

[Anna Bruckbauer @TheDeafOT]

@AOTAEvents Is there a way to turn on captions for this even?
