Practice Skills

Written By Jan Davis, MS, OTR/L

Practice skills are essential for helping students become effective clinicians. Strong clinical skills will also help students confidence during their clinical experiences.

When teaching practice skills, encourage your students to give each other feedback, both from the role as the therapist and from the role as the patient/client. This will help improve each student's handling skills.
