Occupational disruption was felt across the world as the pandemic advanced. Students experienced unprecedented challenges, stop gaps, and changes in their academic experience. This panel provides conversations and reflections from a student’s perspective. A focus will be on student occupations, occupation disruption, opportunity, innovation, and “big picture” reflections. Students are encouraged to attend.
Following this presentation, the practitioner will be able to:
· Identify the experiences of OT/OTA students during the pandemic.
· Identify strategies to minimize the impact of occupational disruption
