GBS

While I was out of class on Monday, May 15th, I still learned a lot about Guillain-Barre Syndrome. I think it is such an interesting disorder.

She inspired me throughout the movie to stay positive, and to do everything I can to help my client live the life they want to. This movie also did a great job of showing the side effects someone with a SCI can experience, such as pain, secondary health problems, and trying to adjust to the overall lack of independence....

Occupational therapists not only speak in person-first language, but also practice person first.
