Key data<\/h4>\n

\nMe on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n

What I did:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Carrying out diagnostic discussions and assessments<\/li>\n
  • Individual and group therapy to work towards the client’s goals (in terms of independence in everyday life)<\/li>\n
  • Supporting and encouraging clients at the dementia day-care centre in all areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Why I enjoyed my internship:<\/h4>\n

    Due to the different personalities I got to know and appreciate, the invaluable experience and impressions I gained and the joy of the clients when they achieved important goals as a result of their therapy.<\/p>\n

    What I learned:<\/h4>\n

    To be open-minded towards all kinds of people and all personality types, to have empathy, to see the resources a person can offer and not the limitations, to motivate others, to enable others to live with the greatest level of independence in everyday life and to engage in self-reflection.<\/p>\n

    My biggest success\/My greatest experience:<\/h4>\n

    …was to see how the clients placed an unbelievable level of trust in us within a short space of time and to notice the positive effect this had on the success of their therapy.<\/p>\n

    How I secured the internship:<\/h4>\n

    I secured the internship by sending an application email to the day-care centre. A year before starting my internship, I had a half-hour personal conversation with my future internship supervisor, who informed me about the day-care centre and asked a few questions about myself. <\/p>\n

    What I want to do in the future:<\/h4>\n

    I know that I want to work as an occupational therapist all my life. The internship brought me one step closer to this goal and showed me that geriatrics is an area I would like to work in during my future career. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
