Fieldwork Survival Guide, as per AOTA
Prior to starting my Level II fieldwork I had looked through this manual and absorbed every tip and suggestion I possibly could. This helped me tremendously as I was prepared to take on any challenge provided by my supervisor. I made sure to research the site, diagnoses, interventions (with back-up plans), and appropriate assessments before my first day. Some things I would suggest you definitely brush up on: -Transfer techniques -Range of Motion and MMT -Know how to write Progress Notes (SOAP notes)! and -GOALS (SMART, RHUMBA, FEAST..whichever you've learned) Most importantly, ASK QUESTIONS! Show your supervisor you care and are interested. INITIATE! *For the AOTA Fieldwork Survival Guide, follow the link below. http://www.aota.org/Students/Current/Fieldwork/Survival-Guide.aspx (www.aota.org, 2006).
