Unfortunately for many Occupational Therapists, the biggest challenge of this role is explaining what they do. Fortunately for my future jobs, it meant I relied on strong, clear and compelling communication skills to deliver any intervention.
An Occupational Therapist is a professional problem solver. We work with clients and patients to help them engage in meaningful occupations.
Now, I can create a message that will appeal to anyone. Truly. These messages were crucial to ensuring my clients and patients would get back to work, into their community and stay out of hospital.
