Has anyone experienced a clinic that has OT's work closely with prosthetics in the STL area? I would love to observe some hours in one, but am struggling to find a place! I'm not sure if this is even a thing, but if it is I am very interested! Thanks in advance!
 
I would check out your nearest Shriners location!

If Shriners is too far, I would still give them a call to find out where they send their kiddos with prostheses for therapy. A lot of families come from far to get their services from Shriners, but they themselves also can’t keep driving several hours a week to continue therapy after they receive their prosthesis. They may get re-routed closer to home and just go back to Shriners for follow ups as needed.
