OT 520: Advanced Occupational Performance I students hosted an inclusive community puppet show and workshop on Sunday, October 4th, at the Lackawanna County Children’s Library as part of the Scranton Fringe Festival! 🎭

This year’s event, “Recycled Puppets,” featured puppet shows about caring for the earth and building resilience, with puppets created from recycled materials. After the performances, children had the opportunity to make their own recycled puppets and express their creativity through hands-on activities. ♻️

This event highlighted the role of arts-based occupations in promoting creativity, participation, inclusion, sustainability, and community engagement. ASL interpretation was provided by Mary Ann Stefko to support accessibility for attendees.

We’re excited that our graduate students will bring their puppetry event to the Scranton School for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children next! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success!

For CBL Laura’s OT 420 volunteered at the Hospice of the Sacred Heart Remembrance Walk. Students prepared by researching ways to educate caregivers and loved ones about self-care, coping skills, and safety. They created posters, handouts, and games for participants of all ages. Students helped set up the walking route and various tables in order for the event to run smoothly. They also celebrated participants as they entered the park and learned some new hula hooping skills! 🩷

They learned how to make a gutter and figure eight finger splints as well as the importance of knowing when to use immobilization vs restriction.

A heartfelt thank you to Leo & Michelle Woelkers for sharing their personal insight and experience with family-centered care following a burn injury with our graduate students in OT542: Understanding Disability & the Therapeutic Relationship. Their perspective offered students an opportunity to better understand the impact of burn injuries on individuals and families and the importance of compassionate, client- and family-centered care throughout the recovery journey. Thank you, Leo & Michelle, for helping our future OTs connect classroom learning with real-life experiences!
