To be successful in the occupational therapy program have equipped myself with a range set objectives to help me reinforce my skills. Have ensured that my interest in promoting health and wellbeing is with respect to occupation. I have plans to demonstrate compassion, integrity, sensitivity and concern for others, have also acquired the abilities to be well conversant with theoretical knowledge and technical application of effective skills to ensure am in a conducive environment to work together with my fellow peers, colleagues as well as clients. I have plans of exploiting my respect of individuality and diversity, show good interpersonal skills work together with different families and clients, and be aggressive on the competing demands.
In communication plans, have furnished myself with a range of communication skills of speaking, hearing as well as observation in order to effectively avoid alteration of information. Observation of nonverbal communication is at finger tips. This is well put in place since in the program there are a lot of information that need to be summarized it is also of importance to be able to translate all clients information by analyzing the information then come up with an effective action on the information received from the client. Every information from clients need decision making and when one is good in communication it is very easy to generalize a relevant decision from a client’s information. With plans on how to manage my communication skills to ensure that all records are to standards of the organization.
I have as well strategized myself by ensuring I have the required critical thinking skills, this have realized by making sure that I have a sober memory to remember and analyze the all information to come up with a relevant information. Critical thinking is necessary in offering services to the clients, it is also important to apply critical thinking in the community, learning environment. Since students are required to have physical skills have tried to be familiar with the skills to provide safe and effective services for the clients, have planned on physical skills by gathering my same experience in the services I offered at my young adulthood to my team mates during tournaments, I took care of injured team mates by offering first aid services. A part from that have also worked with volunteering community services that offer voluntary offer services to the members of the community, in most occasions we visited areas where accidents occurred both major and minor accidents, this enlightened me with skills of working closely with people who were seriously injured, this enhanced my courage and strengthened my emotional skills.
Occupational therapy has challenges of physical, mental and emotional commitments throughout the entire program therefore have set my mind to effectively work under pressure and stress. On accommodation plans have planned a conducive room that will allow me do my researches and doing assignments without interference. I live with my parents I don’t have a side family to attend to apart from my parents this give an upper hand to commit to the program. Due to the possibilities of commuting daily from home that is from Monday to Friday because weekend a will be busy with a part time job have equipped myself with a private car that will help me ease my transport costs as well as saving time. In cases of my car’s mechanical breakdown I have access to a bus and a train so there is no doubt of inconveniency. Events are ever known to be interfering with peoples program especially professional programs, have scheduled myself to only attend family, friends or relatives events only in the days I will be free as far as my schedule time table dictates.
