Funny you say that. After a 7 year hiatus, this fall I'm teaching "Intro to OT" to OTA students.
I'm already lining up patients to come in and talk about their experiences with disability and characteristics that make a good therapist. Today, I asked a patient the following question: Would you rather have a highly knowledgeable therapist with average communication skills or an average knowledge therapist with high communication skills. This patient felt that high communications skills (i.e. listening) are more important than high knowledge. I think this kind of information is INVALUABLE to developing students.... Thanks for asking about teaching. It truly is a passion of mine!
