“Everyone has really gone out of the way to find what works best for [my son.] Finding different ways to do therapy without him having to do it in a way that doesn’t work for him and makes it difficult. We have had more progress here in 3 months time than in a year and a half somewhere else.”

“I had such a great experience as an OT student at LT! I was able to grow in the area of pediatric OT with the help of an awesome supervisor who helped me develop the knowledge and skills necessary to be a great practitioner. This experience was not only valuable due to the exposure I received to different service methods, including clinic treatments, in-home visits, and telehealth sessions, but also because I got the opportunity to meet a variety of different needs, work with a variety of ages within pediatrics, and be a part of a multidisciplinary team. I am so grateful to LT for taking me as a student and providing a great experience. I enjoyed getting to know everyone at the clinic and feel so impacted by the kiddos I got to spend these past 12 weeks with! ”

After completing six consecutive years of study in the field of speech-language pathology, it is a common joke that you have no idea what you’re doing when you head into your first internship. This is exactly how I was feeling when I started my internship at Lowcountry Therapy. Many people had reassured me that you learn more in your internships than you ever had in any class, and looking back, these people were so correct.
Throughout four years of undergraduate studies and two years of graduate classes, I had never been introduced to pediatric occupational therapy. Many ideas crossed my mind; fine motor skills, writing, and tying shoes were all potential goals to work on in therapy. Until shadowing some of the amazing occupational therapists at LTC opened my eyes. I learned the importance of sensory input for each child. This input can be the key to speech output, increased concentration during tasks, or even a simple reinforcement for working throughout the session. Although my time at LTC was short, I will take this knowledge of occupational therapy with me into any job I may have in the future.
Months before starting this internship at LTC, I attended a guest lecture about pediatric feeding. This information greatly interested me. Luckily, I was able to participate in multiple evaluations throughout my stay, as well as having some patients with feeding difficulties on our caseload. These encounters were immensely beneficial for learning about pediatric feeding therapy. Seeing feeding therapy spanning from infants to school-aged children helped create a base of knowledge to hopefully expand on as I grow and learn throughout my career.
The most important thing that I took away from my time at LTC was to be passionate about what I do. When you walk in the door at LTC, it is obvious that you are surrounded by passionate people who love what they do. This passion ensures all patients are getting the best, evidence-based treatment possible. This passion promotes collaborations between disciplines. Most importantly, this passion makes all of these people the best therapy providers they can be. After being immersed in this environment, you wouldn’t want it any other way. As a new professional, I will always have LTC in my mind and strive to keep my passion for this amazing field alive.
