What Students are Saying

"It was helpful to see the process in action beginning to end. Sarah is really good at her job. Its so much more than just mechanically doing the assessment. It really stresses that human psychological component being a 'therapist'."--OTA Student


"It was very helpful! Being able to observe Vera and Simone throughout this case study was wonderful. Each of the quizzes was helpful and helped me to gauge which information was most important. I learned a lot from this course. It was a great introduction to fieldwork level I as I could pace myself and rewatch videos to make sure I was not missing anything. I would recommend this course to any OT student!"--OTD Student
