Hi Becky, I'm a new COTA. I'm older and have always loved working with the geriatric population, so naturally I thought this is where I wanted to work. On my last two clinicals I worked one with rehab and the other with early childhood and elementary kids. Actually, working with students was harder for me but I found that I really enjoyed working with the students and I have just finished my first year in the school system.

I have had two great placements with a friendly team and a supportive educator and then I had a negative placement where I lost alot of confidence. I was wondering about everyone's experience with placements - How much did your placements help you decide where you wanted to specialise? And having a negative experience in a placement did it put you off working in a specific field? Thanks Becky :-) _________________________________________________________________ The next generation of Hotmail is here! http://www.newhotmail.co.uk -- Options? www.otnow.com/mailman/options/otlist_otnow.com Archive? www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] **************************************************************************** ********** Enroll in Boston University's post-professional Master of Science for OTs Online.
