    5. clients.

      Can you give an example of one way in which you altered your treatment plan for a child with this diagnosis?

    6. were able to try on

      Here is an example similar to my first comment: instead of "we were able to try on the device"--meaning that you had the opportunity, say instead "we tried on the device". The latter tells me what you did, the former tells me only that you were given the opportunity, but not necessarily that you took it. Let me know if this makes any sense.

    7. e-stim

      jargon

    8. was able to participate

      When you write "I was able to...." it leaves the reader wondering if you actually engaged in the activity. The mere fact that you had the opportunity doesn't necessarily tell the reader that you DID do the activity. Think about what you are trying to convey with precision: you can write "I participated in many inservice opportunities". Can you tell the difference?

    1. Myself and the PT d

      This is a side comment: when talking about your work with others, it is customary to include oneself last, i.e., you could rephrase this as "The physical therapist and I did not change....etc." This is just a suggestion for a more conventional style--putting others first before yourself in a sentence.

Katie Heismann, OTR/L reports "Rachel adheres to AOTA's code of ethics and also adheres to any safety protocols."

      can you find a synonym for the verb "report"? You use it repetitively in this section.

    5. cked up all of the rods and that I did minimal effort to help ensure she felt successful and to maintain our therapeutic relationship.

      This is a nice reflection but does not answer the prompt about application of theory. What theory did you use to design your intervention?

    6. each domain works together to positively or negatively impact health

      This is also a bit confusing. Perhaps a picture or diagram of the 8 dimensions of wellness would help here.
