    1. ver forget.

      This is really beautiful; can you provide a specific example? The entire passage is rather broad. Lovely, but broad and general. Looking forward to reading about a specific instance.

    1. The image below describes this encounter and how I incorporated a return to work task in our therapy session

      Needs a bit more description and synopsis--otherwise the reader needs to read the image, and you don't want to make the reader have to do that!

    1. I kept a notebook filled with notes and would often confer with my fieldwork educator about the evidence I found and asked their opinion on how they approach different evaluations based on the patient's level of functioning

      Please shorten this.

    1. I specified what goal was addressed and whether it needed a different grading so the next session would have a starting point or if a different therapist treated the client, they would have an idea of client participation during treatment session

      Please shorten this sentence. Also, provide an example, as well as a synopsis of the image below.

    2. I fulfilled my commitment by stepping up and getting the kids the treatment they needed despite not being able to have their full time seen by their regular occupational therapist by incorporating them into my other caseload.

      Can you break down this long sentence into shorter sentences please? It's hard tfollow.

    1. hey may have about what the session will look like and what my clinical judgement

      This is good, but very general. Please provide a specific example. And please describe the artifact.

    2. nt facility

      Explain what the image is below. Image a person who is blind using a screen reader to access your website. They would not be able to read the image. You need to explain what it is and provide a brief synopsis.

    1. y name is Laura Mendez and I am from Little Rock, Arkansas! I am a second year master's of occupational therapy student and I am approaching my level II fieldwork rotations.

      This is lovely. Consider rewording it to reflect the past tense--by the time you graduate and potentially use this to showcase your achievements to a potential employer, this will be long ago. Also, it is a Master of Occupational Therapy program.

    1. We had a productive conversation about how his rehab team is working hard to help him and that even though we can’t feel the pain he is feeling, we know he is motivated and trying the hardest he could

      Please use past tense

    2. ling him I have been a student here for eight weeks, he reported that he thought I had been working here and reported I had the confidence and attitude of an OT practitioner.

      Great. Please write in past tense.

    1. I made sure to center my group interventions based on the client’s goals to ensure that they gained coping skills, anger management, problem solving, identifying triggers, and community based skills based on client factors and performance skills.

      Please rephrase for clarity and try to avoid repetitive words, e.g., made sure & ensure; coping skills & performance skills & community based skills. It is difficult to follow this sentence.

    1. While at Regional One, a client reported that he was going to sell his medication once he was discharged. I educated him on that being illegal and he reported that he was joking with me. I did not want to take the chance, so I reported this news to my educator. She reported that the rehab team, including the pharmacist and doctor, was aware and that this was not the first time he mentioned this. 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.

    2. LMHS

      See previous comments about abbreviations. When used the first time on a page, spell out before placing in parentheses, ONLY if you are going to use it again on then page. Otherwise don't bother with the abbreviation in parentheses.

    1. 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?

    2. 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.

    3. One client was feeling discouraged one week and felt as though she would never get discharged and that she learned all the skills in OT.

      This is a long sentence that confused me, especially the final clause about learning skills in OT. Please rewrite for clarity.

    1. kids

      "this kid" "our kids" --comes off casual, unprofessional, and almost condescending. It can also become dehumanizing. Be more sensitive in this paragraph. It's a great story.

    1. independent way

      is independence the goal? or meaningful engagement? Just something to think about. Not everyone wants to be independent in all occupations--there is often a trade-off between the energy required and expended to perform something independently versus saving the energy for something more important

    1. To be occupational therapist, I feel like we have a passion to help people and most of the time we take those struggles home with us. I know how important it is to balance your work life and personal life. I know that it is hard to leave those struggles at work once you get home, but it is important to focus on yourself and your loved ones just like your patients.

      Change these to first-person language. Use "I" statements. Speak about yourself, not others
