In spite of the ongoing pandemic, Eastern Michigan University’s occupational therapy students were granted the invaluable opportunity to engage in live virtual level I pediatric fieldwork with an after school program designed to support children attending public school in the surrounding area. OT student groups of 3-4 students ran 45 minute telehealth intervention sessions for 8 weeks. Prior to starting fieldwork, students received 5 weeks of preparation including readings, demonstrations, discussions and reflections. Students then planned and implemented virtual therapy sessions including goal development, skilled observation, communication, core activities teaching or enhancing social-emotional skills, self-regulation/coping activities, documentation and reflection. The final two weeks of the semester included reflective presentations. In this session, you will learn how to create and establish a faculty led fieldwork experience such as this one; learn from our successes and challenges; and hear the student perspective regarding this style of programming.
