What OTs say about my Products or programs

The mentoring process was very enjoyable and enlightening with Michele Schwartz. Each session I had opportunities to present cases, ask questions about treatment options and goals, engage in brainstorming activities and receive feedback. I found every minute of our hour long sessions extremely valuable. Michele provided concrete recommendations and posed thought provoking questions to foster my critical thinking skills. Michele drew from her wealth of pediatric experience in providing recommendations and feedback . Her easy-going manner made brainstorming ideas fun! I am excited to be using my new skills. I am 100% satisfied with my mentoring experience.

"My life at work has been easy since I enrolled in your mentorship class."

Before the mentorship program, I felt that I really needed this course since I was struggling day by day in documenting my daily notes which was taking up so much of my time. I was really hoping to make my life easier so I can have more quality time with my family and balance my life.

Did joining the program impact your OT practice or life in general? A big yes! I was able to manage my time wisely and daily/weekly treatment into more productive, less stressful, and creative, meaningful activities because of the program’s tips and strategies.

I learned the way I am supposed to work smart not hard. I love the 1:1 time Michele gives as it became very personalized and she hears what matters to me most.

With my improved mood and improved quality time, work became easier and more manageable.

“I really loved that you are very down to earth and easy to talk to. I always felt safe expressing my fears and discussing ideas with you. Technology was easy to use (payment, navigating website, accessing google meet appointments). Through this experience, I was able to grow a lot and be more versatile with my treatments and it pushed me to think outside the box.”

Laura A, MS, OTR/L

"I enjoyed the opportunity to have an open conversation about the reality of being a new grad. You asked some difficult questions but also gave me some tips and reassurance about things I wouldn’t necessarily feel comfortable talking about with a colleague"

"The most beneficial parts of the mentorship program were having a sounding board and having someone that could help me zoom out to see the bigger picture of the services I am providing.

I am much more confident about the skills I have a better plan for moving forward."
