Building Confidence in Assistive Technology: Advice for Early-Career OTs
In this episode, Chanelle is joined by Rebecca Small, Lecturer at the University of Sydney, Head of Clinical Development in Neuro and Assistive Technology at Optimum Health Solutions, and Clinical Educator at Allied Health Warrior, to explore how early-career OTs can build confidence in assistive technology without feeling they need to know every product. Together, they discuss the importance of clinical reasoning, mentorship, ongoing learning, and understanding the person beyond the equipment. Rebecca shares practical advice for developing AT knowledge and explains why confidence grows through asking questions, using your networks, and gaining experience in practice. A valuable conversation for new graduates, early-career OTs, and clinicians looking to strengthen their confidence in assistive technology.
