What Students are Saying

"This was a great case to share. I learned a lot about OI and Eve was an amazing client. So positive and motivated to succeed".--MSOT Student

"I do feel more confident in my skills after completing this module since it provided an experience in being able to observe an evaluation and the measurement tools used and the reasoning for them. Another aspect were the competency checks with the quizzes and being able to make inferences based on our own knowledge."--MSOT Student

"I thought this simulation was a good experience and allowed me to think through an OT lens. I believe with this simulation I increased my knowledge of assessment and intervention skills. As well as coming up with home programs to improve sensory processing."--MSOT Student
