OTs Tash and Jess were busy recently adding to their skills for working collaboratively with Teens (and Tweens!)
Working with this client group can require a really nuanced set of skills - to develop therapeutic relationships, to support participation, develop a sense of ownership and self-direction.
Throw in hormones and brains that are SUPER-wired for belonging and acceptance, then plans A, B, C, (and D etc!) are generally needed and pulled from the OT tool-box! Meeting the client where they are at becomes extra important, alongside supporting clients and families/caregivers through changes.
Thanks to Rebecca Lockyer at Little TheraPeas for the awesome training. And to Helen for the 'afternoon crash' donut delivery ๐ฅฏ๐ฉ๐คค.
