Hi everyone, I am an educator in an OTA program looking for information on what types of adaptations or low tech assistve technology OT's are doing out there...we are trying to figure out how to still give students the experience of working with various media, encourage problem solving and creativity, and create something useful that they may actually need to fabricate again. For smaller projects we already have them making U cuffs, simple splints, built up handles, a one handed nail clipper attached to a board,etc. Bigger things included adapted cutting boards, lap trays, positioning devices for children, etc. These are cumbersome and graduate feedback is that they never need to make the bigger projects again after they leave here. So we are hoping to incorporate some new smaller projects that better reflect the types of problem solving and creativity that might be required of them in a variety of practice settigns. Any suggestions? It seems like there is so much available now to the public that a lot of the things we have come up with are things people just buy for themselves now instead of having the OT create...thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have!
