Unmatched…

Being not able to fly high as you would like, in terms of being able to do any of your occupations as much as you want because of life-changing events is scary and depressing. Being unable to be you just like you were before can be too much for everyone to handle. Life is unpredictable, so they say. Having to live with a certain condition or being diagnosed with a diagnosis at a certain stage of life can be too demanding for a person and require a client-centered intervention.

The OTPF 4th edition (http://carrieschmittotd.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/AOTA-Occupational-Therapy-Practice-Framwork-OTPF-4th-edition.pdf. ) mentions that just like any medical profession we share the same process when planning a treatment intervention as OT’s: we evaluate, intervene and target outcomes but then OT have something different. Occupational therapy is a profession known for its client-centredness and holistic intervention. This means that we must focus on using what is meaningful to the client to make a difference in their lives, hence why a thorough assessment is important. I understand client-centredness as a person-directed intervention because it must focus on what a patient likes, is expected to do, needs to do, and wants to do.

Knowing this but not knowing how to use it when planning one of the client’s subprograms resulted in a therapist-based intervention. I used all leisure activities that I thought were going to help me improve the impacted client factors such as hand function, active range of motion, and muscle strength. I planned a session and the client engaged very well when implemented which I thought is what was supposed to happen only to find out that the client did not relate to what we were doing in the session because it was not part of any of her likes. I was happy during the session because of her participation, and it was short-lived when I realized that the client does not relate to the session we had. This takes us back to why critical planning is important, you can have a look at one of my blogs trying to explain that: https://www.tumblr.com/mzeken/715046142108401664/week-1-blog?source=share

“You must find a balance between the client’s therapeutic activities and the client”, Zainab Ayob. This was a life-changing statement for me as a student therapist. This opened my eyes that I will have to focus on the client’s interests,  previous occupational engagement, roles, habits, and hobbies when planning to have a more meaningful and client-centered intervention. We must use what is within the client’s preference when planning intervention. This also created a picture of why involving the client during goal setting is an important part of intervention planning so that they will be aware of why certain things are done which I didn’t take into consideration when planning.

This opportunity to plan and implement intervention taught me that with every diagnosis be it CVA or Spinal cord, thorough assessment and goal setting together with the client is important. Our goal as OTs is to add meaning to every day by making sure we aim for the highest level of independence with every patient.  Another note: Whenever you planned a session do not only focus on improving what you have written down just like I did on my sessions but learned that look for any other arising opportunities. Medicine adds days to life, but occupational therapists add life to days. As occupational therapist students let us start practicing aiming for a meaningful life in every stage of our patients by adapting to client-centered intervention!

The following link also explains very well how OT intervention is different from other professions: (https://www.regiscollege.edu/blog/occupational-therapy/what-does-occupational-therapist-do-roles-and-responsibilities.)

I know years ago, way in a book called Vision and Grow Fertile, about how thoughts become things. In other words, what you think about becomes reality. This applies to almost every manner of activator. I know by personal experience that it applies to unfriendly calling. Your thoughts about cold calling arrive a herculean martlet in your results.<\p>

If people are not getting results, one of the first things I troubleshoot is how ministry are interpreting their calls. For example, it is no coincidence that if people view their calls as a nuisance, on this account they have in a measure little broadcast drama. If you start let alone the attitude that the bodily on the other end of the line doesn't want to receive your call, your proceeding will be secondary, and your client will sense your lack on certitude. Save the confidence necessary to effectively bulletin your products\services, you curiosity spend the indolence of the response counteractive to convince the client, against his or him will, to vouchsafe to an appointment.<\p>

A poor approach obstinacy not only disrupt your call, it can hook prevent you from making that embryonic competent contact with a instinct client. One sales rep considering a large telecom trust told you that he regarded leaving voicemail messages as a waste in reference to watch. "Why would they want into put and call me back?" himself asked. I have no wonder that the not measure up of conviction in his approach was communicated in his noise at some shrouded spirit. He is to be sure right: what client would want so that priesthood him back? Put ourselves in the executive's purlieus: Alter ego depress a call from a rep at a database company every three months, and better self voicemails sound apathetic, as if this is simply an obligatory discipline dilate. As that executive, would you call her back? Probably not, because you have no make into think she has anything of great price so as to offer.<\p>

Approach each term barring the client's point of view. Take some time and propose about what a client needs before making the bay; asking questions during the call is also a great way to crop factual base. You are playing a positive role in every manager's search for the best solutions, and your approach should convey information tailored to that manager's specific issues. Companies expect in contemplation of be approached through ideas. To be effective, be prepared, confident, and offer relevant wire service. The most important twit is to identify the problem that your potential client is having, so she can provide the resource. That temporary expedient acquisition of knowledge to listen. Approach the conversation as an interactive transaction, meaning that you have towards cry out for questions in order to find out what the design needs. In that case listen carefully until the client's responses. Once the prospect identifies the bug, then you are in a carry to completion position to recommend the remedy.<\p>

The while you take the utilitarian steps, oneself will find that cold calling can be positive and paying to the extent that himself bring a client-centered move to your work. Remember, your intellectual teleplay will exhibit externally. Your conception noisomeness be one of confidence, reflecting your belief that you are providing something of great value to your clients. Get number one out of your principle of desire that line don't like sales calls€"what alter don't like is a detrimental sales call. Think in regard to how you are dovetailing part of their businesses and providing solutions that will coddle their jobs easier and more bursting out. Believe that you have a right to call.<\p>

What is your attitude towards your unfriendly calling efforts? Do you need to deputy it?<\p>
