- Abstract
In partnership with Huntington University, I have conducted survey research to explore students’/occupational therapy practitioners’ perception regarding their readiness for fieldwork or career in school-based practice. A pre-and post-survey were created to explore the existing gaps/barriers that inhibit OT students or practitioners from feeling clinically competent for school-based practice and to investigate participants' self-reported rating regarding their knowledge of school-based topics before and after using the educational resource website I developed. The purpose of developing an educational website was to provide students and practitioners with a collection of accessible online resources with a one-stop shop opportunity to learn or refresh knowledge about school-based practice. The key goals of this project were to increase my knowledge and skills pertaining to school-based occupational therapy and gain further insight into students’/occupational therapy practitioners’ perception regarding their readiness for fieldwork or employment in school-based setting. In order to develop in-depth knowledge in the school-based setting, I completed continued education courses and reviewed recent publications pertaining to this setting. As I gain further clinical expertise in the setting of school-based occupational therapy, I aim to continue building on the website. I plan to continue improving this tool so that it will be an accessible and sustainable educational resource that has the potential to increase occupational therapy students’ perception of readiness for school-based fieldwork and/or employment as well as give therapists transitioning from another practice setting an educational refresher.
