A special welcome to those of you that are presently studying to become licensed rehabilitation professionals!
Please know that your faculty has many constraints on what and how it can teach…after all schools are part of the larger systems of regulation and accreditation. So be patient…you are garnering amazing tools for being of service to others in the future. But, if you find things a little dry or mechanistic in approach to what you know from your "real" world, hang on.
There is a growing number of we "old" pro's quietly working to bring our methods up to date with the basic science discoveries of movement, neuroscience and the entire biopsychosocial model.
If I can be of any assistance to you in locating resources for special projects/papers, etc. let me know. This is what I do as part of a larger effort to expand our professions in being more comprehensive and compassionate.
Research, clinicians specializing in integrative approaches or just some encouraging words…you've found a place to drop in for any or all of that.
Here's an oasis of "different" thinking from my doctoral days…it was a website I built to galvanize some of my integral thinking at the time: A Fork In the Road
Send your classmates and your faculty here to generate great discussions and good luck with your studies!
