Occupy Yourself
Bringing the benefits of purposeful occupation to all the land! Nicole is an AOTA Board Certified Pediatric Occupational Therapist with 20 years of experience working (mostly) with children and teens. Val is a Quinnipiac University OT student working on this podcast as her final level II fieldwork. Our vision is to bring understanding of occupational therapy concepts to all the land. Our approach is to connect the dots between everyday personal experiences, and integrate them with the often underutilized OT body of knowledge. Everyone could use an OT friend these days, and we’re here as your virtual OT pals, to promote the beauty of intentional occupation for everyone! Join us with your favorite tasty beverage, and don't forget to occupy yourself with intention! Transcripts available at www.occupyyourselfpod.com
