Serena Blank
Serena’s blog title “Blank’s Blog” focuses on the topic of
handwriting. Serena’s first post discusses her love of handwriting and her
pursuit in becoming and Occupational Therapist. She wishes to be able to incorporate
both of her passions in one career. Serena’s second post talks about an article
she read discussing Handwriting Without Tears Test gray block paper (HWT). Serena found this article interesting as it
pertained to her passion of handwriting and its importance as well as its
simple implementation that can drastically affect a young child’s school
experience.
From her postings, I have learned that there are
occupational therapists who work specifically on handwriting and that there are
simple interventions for what seems like complex abilities.

Emily Spalding
Emily’s blog is titled “OT For Tots” as her main focus
throughout her blog is pediatric occupational therapy. In her first post, Emily
talks about wanting to go into Pediatric Occupational Therapy when she
graduates from college. She also discusses her experiences with volleyball and
her wish to, one day, incorporate her experience into the therapy she will
practice. In her second post, Emily talks about an article she read involving
hearing loss and the co-morbid deficiencies that sometimes accompany such a
loss.
After reading Emily’s blog, I was intrigued by the idea of
volleyball being used as a therapy and learned on one person who actually uses
the therapy to help children improve their balance and endurance. I also
learned that Emily is currently taking a sign language class through SLU which
I was unaware they even offered.
