agree with the other reply about doing some volunteer/observation (observation
seems to be the better term to me - so that you're actually able to follow an
OTR in the unit while treating patients). I work @ Texas Children's

observation. And, as for the class thing...I would have to agree that
there is no substitute for hands on training so to speak.

swallowing disorders, or handling techniques? I have been an OT for some
years and would like to change focus. Classes are good but it does not give
the hands on experience which I believe is necessary to actually work in this
environment. I would appreciate any feedback.
