    I have been very reluctant in sharing this but this, I find to be a true pattern among progressing clinicians. Is it character? Is it personality? Or is it just is? In this episode I talk about my observations among Band 6s characteristics as they take on and they adopt their 'animal spirits'. After this, you can start observing your workplace and see where people are. Or, perhaps you can look at your tendencies to find out what animal spirit you have adopted.

    "I like to learn about cognitive rehab." This what most OTs would say. People make themselves expert of cognition and yet, they under estimate the value of perception - which is a strong foundation of cognition. Before you learn about cognitive rehab, you should learn perceptual rehabilitation.

    In this session, I talk about basic and common Cognitive perceptual deficits. This is suitable for clinicians of all level and this is very useful particularly to those who has neuro or stroke interest. When you understand the symptoms, you can formulate your intervention and you can think of the activities that is suitable for your patients.
