What really makes a great occupational therapy practitioner? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the key qualities that set exceptional OTs apart—beyond just clinical skills.

We’ll chat about:

  • The importance of lifelong learning and continuing education

  • Why collaboration with other professionals is a game-changer

  • How building rapport with a wide variety of clients and families is a must

  • The value of teaching and sharing your knowledge

  • And why sometimes, doing less can actually mean more in this profession

Plus, we wrap up the episode by answering a fantastic listener question: “How do you integrate reflex work in a school setting when there’s no carryover?” We share some practical tips and strategies to help support reflex integration even with limited consistency.

Whether you're a seasoned OT or just starting out, this episode will leave you feeling inspired and empowered to grow in your practice.
