I just love this podcast so much. I’ve only just stumbled across it but have already covered so many topics that really interest me. I am a UK based private OT working across various schools but also with clients in their own homes. Many of those common themes that come up when chatting with my OT colleagues are tackled in depth, mixing the hosts own personal experiences with reviews of recent literature and evidence in a really fun and engaging way! I listen in the car on my way to see clients ... more
I used to work with both Michele and Lacy many years ago, and hearing them banter back and forth took me back in time! I listened to the first three episodes back to back and had a smile on my face the whole time. You guys have a great format, it’s well thought out and each section is so helpful. I’ll definitely be recommending your podcast to my staff and to other clinic owners I know.
As a fieldwork coordinator and professor, it has been up to me on how to develop these behaviors. At almost two years in we find it only can do so much without student self led motivation and discipline. We use a textbook throughout fieldwork and develop assignments throughout.
Michele and Lacy do any amazing job with real life scenarios and using evidence based practice on how to enhance your OT sessions. Really love listening to these podcast they are not only informative but also fun to listen to! Thank you both for this podcast!
Really enjoyed the podcast! Loved the flow! It really makes research more accessible!
