Stephanie Lancaster, MS, OTR/L, ATP, is an occupational therapist with 25 years of clinical experience. As an assistant professor,
Stephanie trumpets the value of teaching and practicing in the field of OT in an “out loud” manner.
Stephanie’s Awesome Quote:
“It’s really some simple
strategies and education.”
Occupational Therapy Help
Most of all, as an Occupational Therapist, Stephanie helps with “main life activities”.
For children, that includes learning, interacting with people and learning self-help in addition to social and play skills.
She can also provide a thorough activity analysis from which solutions to an individual’s struggles can be devised.
OT’s consider environmental modifications and prep techniques that focus on function and self-advocacy.
As a result, it supports the person doing for themselves.
Please be sure and share your thoughts on the show in the comments below.
