Range of Motion speed dating! The ideal conclusion to a demanding two weeks of competencies! Well done students!

The neuro class enjoyed two guest speakers from Stormont Vail, speaking on stroke rehab. Thanks Liz & Matt for taking time to share your knowledge with our students!

WU OTA students created a representation of occupational therapy from a bag of trash at the KOTA conference! They used their creativity to make a tree with OT feeding the roots! Great job!

OT rocks! Students have painted rocks to share with other occupational therapy practitioners at KOTA conference later this week! We can't wait to connect with everyone!
