The way you explained it made so much sense! I like that you described "Hardening" as "Holistic", because that also created a little mnemonic for me to help remember. :)

Your videos are helpful for me for me studying for my CCM certification exam!! Thank you!!❤️

Your videos are amazing!!!! I'm studying for the exam and your content seems like it matches so much of what they care about

Thanks for your explanation. I’m an OT from Malaysia. Hope more OT go into the work rehab and community rehab to help more individuals with needs.

Another mnemonic to help for any plant lovers out there, think of "hardening off" a plant that has been inside over the winter to prepare it for being fulltime outside in the summer. You need to "work it" for a few hours a day, gradually increasing the time frame, during the late Spring before it is ready for its full-time role of being a fully functioning summer loving plant.

Could you go more into detail regarding the difference between and occupational therapist role in vocational evaluations and a vocational rehabilitation specialist (VR services)

[@ryantacl4113]

Also want to say I really appreciate late your videos! They are so helpful!

[@OTOverEasy]

Hey there! I'm afraid I really don't know much about VR specialists, so I wouldn't be able to say what the main differences are between them and OTs. I perform FCEs, but outside of that work rehab is not my specialty!
