AOTA

By Bonnie Napier, EdD, MRA, OTR/L

The transition from academic work to clinical focus during Level II occupational therapy fieldwork can be both exciting and challenging. This interactive book provides students with an organizational tool that will help them make the transition smoothly and thrive during their fieldwork experience. This combination calendar–planner and self-organizer, which includes concepts from the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, allows students to

• Keep track of schedules
• Note meetings and other “must-dos”
• Record journal entries and reflections
• Organize and record supervisor questions and comments
• Record important information about each fieldwork site
• Organize materials and resources
• Write goals, action plans, and timelines for completion
• Record progress from student toward master clinician.

Chapters feature personal, professional, and client success strategies, as well as reflective forms to complete. In addition, “Talk It Over With Your Clinical Supervisors” boxes suggest useful questions to ask about each of the topics discussed in the book.
