Only a few people truly understand that we are part of a small but highly specialized group of professionals who care for patients in pediatrics, physical rehabilitation, sports medicine rehabilitation, psychologic/psychiatric cases, geriatrics, and palliative care.

Pero can you really blame us if konti lang kami? As of 2026, ganito pa lang talaga ang population ng Occupational Therapists. Hindi dahil kulang ang kakayahan—kundi dahil mabigat at mahaba ang hinubog na proseso bago ka matawag na OT.

During my time, Occupational Therapy was a five-year course, with intensive clinical rotations in all settings—walang shortcut. After that, required pa ang six-month review before taking the board exams. Hinulma kami hindi lang sa skills, kundi sa tibay ng loob at malasakit sa pasyente.

Kaya proud akong sabihin na isa ako sa first five pioneering batch of Occupational Therapy mula sa very first school in Mindanao na nag-offer ng program. Hindi lang ito propesyon—advocacy ito, serbisyo, at pamana sa mga susunod na henerasyon ng OTs.

🚗💭 How does your child’s “engine” run today? Just like cars, kids have internal engines. Sometimes they’re running too fast, sometimes too slow, and sometimes JUST RIGHT! 👇

🚦 Fast engine: lots of energy, might feel excited or distracted
🐢 Slow engine: tired or low energy, hard to focus
🌟 Just-right engine: calm, alert, and ready to go!

Finding that “just-right” engine helps with better learning, working, and even playing! 🎯
Occupational therapists use this to help people, kids and adults alike, notice how they’re feeling and choose the best strategies to shift their engine to the right speed.🤝

💬 Let’s hear from you!
👇 What helps your child get their engine “just right”? Share in the comments!

The holidays invite us to slow down and give ourselves grace. In occupational therapy, we’re reminded daily that progress isn’t about speed; it’s about showing up, trying again, and taking one small step at a time.
