FIELDTRIPS
Students in the occupational therapy program often go on fieldtrips to enhance their learning.  Fieldtrips include visits to local day care facilities where the students run groups for preschoolers, visits to a hand therapy clinic for practice in splitning, and visits to centers for assistive technology where students are exposed to the most up to date technology to assist those with disabilities to be as independent as possible. Fieldtrips have also been taken to facilities for assistive living, senior centers, Hospice, and sites for driving evaluations. Fieldtrips occur for volunteer work as well.  Students have volunteered at a local fundraising walk for autism, and have visited and rasied money for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.
