Should a new grad walk out of their degree knowing how to be an OT?
It’s the expectation almost every graduate carries, and in Episode 12 of The OT Download, Gabby names why it sets people up to feel like they’re failing before they’ve begun.
Six months in, the most reassuring thing she’s found isn’t getting all the answers. It’s sitting in team conversations and watching senior OTs say “I don’t know what to do with this client” too. Because every client is different, and you never take the same approach twice. Not knowing the next step isn’t a gap in competence, it’s the actual shape of the work.
The real protective factor for a new grad is structural... a role with supervision that fits, and a team that makes it safe to not have every answer. That’s what turns uncertainty from something to hide into something to reason through out loud.

Vehicle modifications get far less attention than home mods, but they are equally life-changing.

No vehicle access means no employment, no medical appointments, no community participation, and no social connection. OT assessment for vehicle mods draws on the same clinical reasoning as home mods, just applied to a different environment.
Most OTs overlook this area completely. The demand exists, but the supply does not. If you build this expertise early, you are filling a genuine gap in the profession.
Participation doesn't stop at the front door.

How do some OT assessments end up in front of a judge?

Medicolegal OT is a growing area of practice, where occupational therapists contribute to legal matters like motor vehicle accident claims, workers' compensation disputes, and public liability cases. Rather than working with a client toward goals, these OTs provide independent, objective opinions (on things like work capacity) that can be scrutinised and cross-examined in court.
And here's the interesting part: a report doesn't hold up just because it's clinically accurate. In a legal setting, it needs to clearly demonstrate the expert's relevant training, the reliability of the methods used, and independence from either party.
Our latest blog outlines 4 essentials every OT should understand about this space, from what makes expert evidence persuasive to knowing the limits of your own assessment tools.

When a client presents as 'difficult,' what you're seeing is the tip of the iceberg.
The missed appointments, the disengagement, the flat affect... are all surface behaviours. They tell you something is going on, but they don't tell you what.
Below the surface: sensory processing differences, interoceptive difficulties, trauma responses, executive dysfunction challenges, belief systems built over decades. This is where the real clinical picture lives and where OT assessment is designed to go.
Complex clients aren't complex because they're ‘difficult’. They're complex because there is more to discover below the waterline.
