I'm an OT student graduating this year and seeing this video makes me so happy because not a lot of people know about our profession and thus, don't see the value in OT!! Thanks for making this video and spreading some awareness Madalyn! :)

[@DrMadalyn]

Yay I'm so happy!! An early congratulations on your graduation!! 🤗

[@elani9624]

hii i’m in highschool what kind of college should i look into

[@Bbydoll90]

Really?? feel like everyone knows about this profession.

[@brigittealexander1967]

I would love to see OT shadowing nurses. I was a nurse tried OT. Knew very little about it and now a soon to be speech pathologist.

[@hi_alani]

Thank you for giving us a glimpse of this specialty! It’s so awesome to be able to see other areas of the medical field. This one put me into tears. Children are precious, and they deserve all the love and optimal care that the world has to offer. Have a great week ahead, Madalyn!

[@DrMadalyn]

Yay I'm so glad you enjoyed!! Isn't Diana the best 🥰

[@hi_alani]

@@DrMadalyn definitely! an angel on earth ❤️

[@MaxieTheMenace]

I am 27 and switching careers to start my journey to being an occupational therapist! I’m excited 😊

[@graceh9227]

Congratulations 🎉❤ thank you you’re an inspiration to me I’m almost done with my ABA masters but I don’t want to be a BCBA so I feel bad for changing my career

[@armeenpirali1217]

I'm in OT school and I love this video!! I feel like a lot of people aren't familiar with our profession and this is a great way to get the word out there!! Thank you so much

[@kiyoptak3424]

Hi! I'm undergraduate OT student from Indonesia. I would to know in which country do you work? Also is OT's in school is same as shadow teacher in your country? I hope you mind to answer my question because I really need that for my research, thank you!

[@armeenpirali1217]

Hi! Sorry for the late response. I work in the United States! @@kiyoptak3424

[@lmychocolate]

LOVE this video! I've been debating between OT and PT is super insightful. This is definitely making me lean toward OT! This video makes me so happy

[@joeynarciso94]

Well, so did I!! Soo thankful I chose OT! And incidentally, I truly admire SLPs as well and certainly considered that field. I chose OT because it was more active and I was that way myself plus it always seemed to me that for working in speech, that would be a more suitable profession for someone who enjoys a more quiet and perhaps serious environment, it seems they spend more time in a quiet office and quite frankly, I'm just not all that quiet! 😂

[@Sha7nise]

I'm currently a pediatric CMA but want to go back for a pediatric COTA and this video just made me even more excited!!

[@khalilahd.]

Wow this looks like such an incredible specialty. Thank you for sharing 💛

[@DrMadalyn]

Hehe thank you for watching!! 💗

[@KJ-wu4lg]

from personal experience - can confirm that OT is the best!! some call it healthcare's best kept secret.

[@Sillygooseparade]

I’m a pediatric OT excited for this! :)

[@DrMadalyn]

Woohoo!! What did you think!?

[@intobp]

This vlog is interesting! I've learned a lot of information about pediatric therapy. This is very helpful, especially since I have a nephew with GDD who is currently undergoing physical therapy and will soon begin speech and occupational therapy. ❤

[@DrMadalyn]

Love it!!

[@KassandraVirgen]

Found this video a couple months back and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. I was a nursing major and ultimately decided I wanted to pursue occupational therapy and become an assistant and maybe eventually a Occupational therapist. Only thing is there are no schools near me in Cali so I’ll be taking a bit off from school to save money and figure out how I’m going to do it

[@Fifibooktalks]

Thank you for this video!!! A lot of people don’t know what an occupational therapist is so this is so helpful!! There are other medical jobs out there!

[@joeynarciso94]

And there are so very many sub-specialties in OT! When I was working up till 2004, OT was known as the most wide-ranging of therapy specialties since we really did work with the widest range of skillsets within all the aspects of development in peds including of course fine and gross motor, social, emotional, all kinds of ADLs, iADLs, as this therapist here was saying of course praxis which is otherwise known as motor planning and then that can be broken down into both ideomotor and ideational praxis problems, plus lots of work on sensory defensiveness issues, plus sensory integration as well which can incorporate difficulties with gravitational insecurity and obviously other vestibular-related difficulties, and I could go on and on. One problem here! Could you have made it longer?? 😂

[@MSFighter07]

This is SO AWESOME! Did you do a newer one with kids? My teen is very interested in becoming an OT and this is amazing! Thanks

[@itsm3333]

Just graduated from OT school and this video is everything 😭😍

[@roshieranne3019]

I’m a OTA/PTA student in Canada, I love how this is SO INFORMATIVE! Also a great promotion about what we do for healthcare 🫶🏻

[@Jiminsboost]

This is amazing 😮❤ thank you so much for this video.

[@marianamonier4298]

Hi Mad, I'm from Brazil and next year I finish my occupational therapy college at T.O with more love. I really want to go to the U.S.A to act. Thanks for sharing.

[@eilray4472]

I am considering OT for my grad school path and this really helps me know what it’s really like to be in the field. Thank you!

[@meganphillips7344]

As a Peds OT… thank you so much for the awesome representation! I love how you mentioned that from an outsider perspective it might seem like we are JUST playing with them but that we are considering the whole body. Great job!

[@brigittealexander1967]

Wow impressive communication skills. We are only as effective when we listen to our clients

[@oteeandme9956]

Awesome video Madalyn! Thank you for highlighting the wonderful field of OT! Keep up the good work 🤙🏽

[@fredessafigueroa1666]

That was a very informative video yet sooooooo fun to watch😄😄.

Hahaha yay I'm glad you enjoyed!!

[@pinkorangesoda]

This is my dream job but thinking of becoming an assistant instead

[@carlenetheodore5683]

Hello. I would like to become a labor and delivery doctor. What are the steps in doing so and how long would it take?

[@x9841]

:) I have a medical question! Since September last year, I've been having episodes where I get lots of chest pain,I struggle to breathe, I have pins and needles and then I faint. I've been in and out of hospital for weeks, but no one can figure out what's wrong with me. I now have a blood pressure of usually 140 - 169/ 90 -106 What do you think that it may be???? Edit: I am only 14 and it's making quite a big impact on my learning as I have one nearly every day

[@justgirl_90]

Panic attacks?

[@MelisJoy]

Love this..but was kinda sad hearing yall made your fur baby scared. I just wanted to see more of her/him bc dogs are the best

[@beequeened800]

Not “lil OT office”. We all have that bad habit. that’s a HUGE accomplishment 🥳 I’m sure the doctor didn’t mean it harshly, but just be aware of what you are saying. Still nice video.

[@deatstarplans6759]

I looked up that you can go to a trade school to be one and it says you can?

[@felci]

you can be an occupational therapy assistant from a trade school

[@leannefrenkel9497]

In the US you need a masters in OT to to become one, but certified OT assistants can get into a COTA program with just an associates degree.

[@omfserge1233]
