[ESP-ENG]Servicio comunitario de terapia ocupacional - Community occupational therapy service
El día de hoy vengo a contarles un poco sobre lo que ha sido mi experiencia realizando un servicio comunitario como terapeuta ocupacional
Today I am here to tell you a little about my experience performing community service as an occupational therapist.
At the beginning of the year 2023, we were called to a meeting at the university where we were informed that we had to perform a community service at an institution in our community for a certain period of time and with the academic level we wanted. I automatically thought of the school where I attended all my elementary school and part of high school, so without hesitation, I went to ask if I could work there. After some talks with the principal and emotional reunions with my old teachers, I was able to start this new experience.
I was assigned the three preschool levels with the hands on planting project in which we focused on activities where they could work on fine motor skills, attention, concentration and following instructions through activities such as drawing, talking about planting, tearing papers, learning about the textures of seeds and leaves and of course planting, to which they responded in a curious and active way.
For their planting activity, which is at the center of the whole project, I wanted to make it as special as possible for them. For this, I made them participate in the whole process, making a poster so that with their name they could indicate who each plant belonged to and thus have a sense of belonging, the planting itself where they had to open holes in the ground and place the seed and watering the plant, explaining how often they had to water them and ending with a talk about how important planting is.
Este proyecto me mostro lo lindo que es trabajar con niños pequeños y lo gratificante que es verlos aprender. Espero vivir más experiencias como estas
This project showed me how nice it is to work with young children and how rewarding it is to watch them learn. I hope to have more experiences like this.
