Sensory Processing...What is it? The brain takes in different sensory information from our body and the environment so that we can pay attention, plan, follow rules and directions and be organized. Some people have difficulty "filtering" the information and become focused on "unimportant" information, such as brightness of the lights, sound of air conditioner, feel of clothing, etc. Occupational Therapists, Teachers and other clinicians work to provide strategies to help people who have sensory processing dysfunction that impacts their ability to function and participate in their daily lives.

Navigating the Mind

I recently had the chance to dive into the world of mental health and occupational therapy through the lens of the movie "A Beautiful Mind" (2001). It's incredible how a film can take you on an emotional rollercoaster and leave you with profound insights.

The movie tells the story of John Nash, a brilliant mathematician grappling with schizophrenia. His journey, filled with delusions and hallucinations, paints a vivid picture of the complexities of mental health conditions. It's safe to say that watching Nash's struggles and triumphs has forever changed the way I view this field.

Nash's life, dominated by his mental health condition, serves as a stark reminder of the occupational barriers individuals with mental health challenges face. As an occupational therapy (OT) student, I've come to understand the crucial role we play in breaking down these barriers. Our mission is to help people like Nash regain their independence and find meaning in their daily lives. "A Beautiful Mind" reinforced the idea that there's no one-size-fits-all approach – customized interventions are key.

In my own experiences working with clients battling mental health issues, I've seen firsthand how conditions like schizophrenia can lead to social isolation and make everyday tasks seem insurmountable. One client, much like Nash, struggled with auditory hallucinations that disrupted their ability to concentrate on basic activities. To help them, I had to adopt a holistic approach tailored to their unique needs.

The film simultaneously challenged and reinforced my understanding of mental health and occupational therapy. It reiterated that mental health conditions are intricate and can significantly impact a person's life. It underscored the importance of empathy and individualized care because everyone's journey is uniquely their own.

On the flip side, it pushed me to ponder the limitations of medical models in addressing mental health. Nash's recovery wasn't just about medication; it was about social support and his own resilience. This aligns with the holistic nature of occupational therapy, where we consider not only the physical but also the psychological and social aspects of well-being.

Throughout the movie, I couldn't help but wonder about the role OT could have played in Nash's life. We're trained to assess and address the impact of mental health conditions on daily activities. In Nash's case, an OT could have helped him develop coping strategies, manage symptoms, and adapt his environment to support his goals.

The film also shed light on the stigma surrounding mental illness. As OT students and future practitioners, we've seen how the lack of social support can worsen mental health issues. Part of our job is encouraging clients to connect with supportive friends, family, or support groups. It's a way to break down stigma and promote understanding, creating safe spaces for those battling mental health challenges.

Watching "A Beautiful Mind" has truly transformed my perspective as an OT student. It emphasized the importance of empathy, individualized care, and tackling occupational barriers in mental health rehabilitation. As I continue on my occupational therapy journey, I'm dedicated to advocating for the needs of individuals facing mental health challenges and helping them find meaning in their lives.

This #sensory board has 26 fun dressing practice games including shoe laces, #zippers, #buckles, #buttons, snap pockets and lots more. The #busyboard also has numbers, letters, colors, jigsaw puzzles and even a tic tac toe game! Montessori boards are especially useful for toddlers because they can improve #finemotorskills, strengthen hand-eye coordination, and develop creative and critical thinking through play. 🧩 It's also a wonderful choice for people with #autism, stroke, alzheimer's disease and #occupationaltherapist. I love the compact design so we can carry and use it on the plane, in the car, on vacation and camping. It's extremely well made and easy for Zelah to put the velcro pieces on and take them off.
