I'm trying to squeeze in as many observation hours as I can. While I most likely want to work in peds, I also happen to be getting the most receptive OTs in peditrics as well. So far I've done school OT and this relaxation program with an OT for adults with developmental disabilities. Right now, I'm setting up one with a hospital that will be mostly outpatient and a little outpatient (probably with a nursing home). Anyway, I'm probably getting in a hospital that does outpatient peds as well.
I was given the contact info for an OT that does private practice peds. I'm concerned that my application will look like I focused too much on getting hours with children, and I will look "less well-rounded." Do you think I should forget about contacting this place, or should I go for it? I'm hoping to do one more in the fall, possibly in inpatient mental health.
Thank you, and good luck to everyone that is part of this daunting process (whether pre-OT school or in it)!
