Bringing the JOY back for Pediatric Occupational Therapists

No one told you that you would be spending so much time doing PAPERWORK, let's fix that!

Did you become an OT to complete documentation? I didn't think so!

Start ENJOYING your Sessions and LOVE why you wanted to become an OT in the first place!

Feel satisfied, energized, appreciated, and valued

STOP STRUGGLING WITH YOUR DOCUMENTATION AND FEELING LIKE IT IS TAKING OVER YOUR LIFE

Reduce indirect therapy time and bring more joy into your life.

Do you feel there was something missing in your education?

Well there was!

Traditionally that bridge was an amazing fieldwork experience and mentorship at your first job. But with managed care, high productivity, and many OTs working alone, that is jus not happening anymore.

You need to bridge the gap from school theory to actual practice!

Do you ever feel this way?

Drowning in paperwork because you aren't sure what is really needed to include?

Wondering if there is another way?

Feel stressed during sessions because you are trying to figure out out what to do next?

But don't want to spend hours planning?

Crave more quality time for yourself and family in the evenings and weekends?

Your mind's on work, even during family time. You’re helping others, but are you building memories too?

Wondering if you should leave the profession or if you should have ever become an OT in the first place?

But you have spent so much time and money on OT school. There has to be a way to ENJOY being an OT.

Feel like you are falling further and further behind?

But you are not sure where to start?

Your health and mood are suffering?

Always on the run, taking work home, paperwork in the evenings, clients always on your mind?

Doubt the impact you are making?

You used to love OT. But with the assembly line rehab world, you are starting to wonder if it is all worth it?

Feel all alone?

Now, your brain is half on the work grind even when you're with your family. You feel disconnected, you need to change.

And now you’re looking for a better way to reduce your indirect time and become happy and fulfilled...

I've got you!

If you’re tired of feeling this way - join me, and let’s unlock a new level of efficiency, effectiveness, and enjoyment for your practice and your life.

Have More Quality Time With Your Family and

Less Stress and Balance Your Life.

All while providing better outcomes for your clients.

You want to spend less time documenting and planning so....

You tried posting on Facebook

👉 BUT those connections, are fleeting

and half the time are

filled with complainers

You also went to

more CEU courses

👉 HOWEVER just more knowledge

isn't what you are looking for

You even thought about switching settings or careers

👉 BUT the thought of starting over makes your stomach do flip flops, and are you

just trading one problem for another?

What Other OTs Say After Working with Me

"Nurturing, friendly personality, and goes out of her way to help"

"Michele's temperament and professionalism puts everyone at ease"

"Michele is a treasure!"

"Her professionalism, creativity and expertise is invaluable to all that have the opportunity to work with her"

I’LL BE HONEST WITH YOU

GETTING TO THIS POINT IN MY CAREER

WASN'T EASY

When I started out as a new pediatric OT, I felt insecure and pretty lost. My pediatric fieldwork was on a child psych

unit. A far cry from the private school where I was working mainly with children with CP! I was so lucky to work with

a supportive group of OTs, something I didn't realize would become harder and harder to replicate later in my career.

There were many times I wondered if I picked the right career. People didn't understand what OT is, and thus many

times they don't see the VALUE.

I was working all the time, putting so much effort and detail into paperwork and my sessions.

I was completely overworked.

There had to be a better way.

I needed to learn what was REALLY needed in paperwork, how to work and plan smarter not harder.

And that's when it hit me!

We were not taught how to create CLEAR,

CONCISE, and EFFECTIVE documentation

But I couldn’t find a system anywhere.

So I decided to create it.

And My Mentees Saw Results

"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.

I learned the way I am supposed to work smart not hard.

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

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.

Irene

Your program has been great, giving me lots of insights into ways to rethink how I am working. Many of your ideas are going to impact my work positively.

Michele, thanks for sharing your experience and your many insights. You’ve been there. You get what problems can arise as we try to do our work to the best of our ability, and you have valuable insights for how to work with our professional paperwork differently so we are not just more efficient but better therapists.

I’m really glad I enrolled in the course and was able to work with you. Appreciated how personable and available you always were.

"I wanted to say a big thank you for such a great resource I have just discovered by accident through Google search!!

You’ve done a great job of offering us quick easy solutions and support for my practice.

Thank you again for collating these amazing resources together. Well done.

Happy to support all the way 😊

With kind regards

Regina

I took your advice and I did one activity and graded up and down all day. I did Zoom ball and then we did Play-Doh. It went great!

I graded the activities by using a fork to spear the Play- karate chop the Play-Doh off. I was better able to grade the activities and....

I wasn't stressed out during the day at all!

Anna

Clinic Pediatric OTR

“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

"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."

Beth

Experienced EI OT

"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."

Other optional sessions are available during the month for additional professional support.

How do the live online meetings fit into it?

The meetings are were I will be teaching the systems for The Efficient Pediatric OT Roadmap that will then be place into the course. Coming to the meetings gives you a chance to ask questions but they are not required. Members can also submit questions ahead of the calls.
