Observing Occupational Therapy in Practice

My poster will shed light on my cooperative education experience observing occupational therapy in two different clinics, UnityPoint Clinic Therapy - North Crossing and Northern Iowa Therapy (NIT). In both settings I was exposed to a wide variety of patient diagnoses and therapeutic interventions.
