While my classes taught me a plethora of information regarding occupational therapy principles, anatomy, conditions, development, documentation etc, there is nothing better than observation and hands on experience to learn what any job will be really like.

When I was in high school, I had the wonderful opportunity to observe adults and pediatrics occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy here at Reid Rehabilitation Services. I absolutely fell in love with speech therapy and decided this would be my career path. Choosing to come here in high school to observe was the best career decision I could have made!
