Occupational Therapy Belongs in the Pool - A OT Student Shows the Way

We couldn't let these resources go to waste! This content was written by a guest contributor to our Aquatic Therapy University Hub in 2022, and we wanted to reshare Bri Mazzei's amazing work here.

Byline: Bri Mazzei, OTS, ATRIC

Here is my completed course: https://www.udemy.com/course/aquaticoccupationaltherapy/ . Enrollment is free and included in the course are the additional resources and presentations I produced. All lecture material is recorded in addition to the visual aid.

Here is the link to one of the resources included in the course: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1vS7hF53QDxBKSn9KBLKPx6fiaZabiDnM/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=113880568558180725872&rtpof=true&sd=true .This is a presentation of compiled videos with functional activities to complete in the water that address all areas of occupation. I also included some functional equipment recommendations.

Here is the link to a second resource included in the course: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10vhB7Hqa2RzIBxugbrn1M3sz0D2IQafm/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=113880568558180725872&rtpof=true&sd=true .It is a recorded presentation about how to apply the occupational therapy therapeutic process to the aquatic setting and considerations for treatment in aquatics. 

Please feel free to share! I developed all of these resources to increase the use of aquatic therapy techniques among therapy professionals and would love to see these resources used by others! 

Best wishes,
