I went in Thursday and Friday to prepare, and the kids come back tomorrow. We don't "pull" (take kids out of the classroom) the first week, but still lots to do to prepare in terms of setting up stuff, whether it's paperwork or supplies or learning about new kids etc. :) I have to brush up on the ALERT program so I can help a classroom with it and refresh my memory on social thinking etc. I bought so many freaking toys this summer to be better prepared for this school year, and spent a lot of time finding crafts on pinterest I might do.....but I still struggle with anxiety about it all, no matter how prepared I am. :) I just always want to be doing my best work!
Speaking of best work, I work for a great company based in California called School Steps, Inc. They are a small but growing business and they hire OTs, SLPs, PTs, and psychologists, for school systems, in various parts of CA. Their website is http://www.schoolstepsinc.com if you want more information. :)

Good luck with the start of the school year! I love your blog and hope to start OT school next fall. I start volunteering with OT in a mo. and I can hardly wait to get a real feel for it. Your blog helps immensely!
I'm in my final year of my occupational therapy degree in New Zealand. I enjoyed reading your blog and how OT can span the Pacific Ocean.I've started a blog about the theraputic use of silence for one of my papers the link is http://phillipagrace.blogspot.com/search?q=ot+blog

Hello! I am still a freshman in college but I am focused on becoming an OT! Reading your blog gives me much insight into what it is like being an OT student! Thank you for this blog!
