Disorders and Therapy...

This week we put together skits about certain disorders and therapies that could help with some of these disorders. This was actually a really fun assignment/activity. I had a lot of fun coming up with our skit with my group. We even shared plenty of laughs in the process. Anyways, I think this was a very good idea in helping us to learn and better understand this info. First of all, having to research and come up with a skit caused us to make sure we knew what we were talking about and make sure we had a pretty good grasp on the subject. And then when we were able to watch the other groups perform their skits, it definitely helped me to get a better understanding of what certain therpies actually are. Having someone act it out helped me to see what these disorders and therapy sessions may really loook like. And then having Mr. Dreier afterward explain more in depth about the thearpy solidified everything for me. He helped to add anything the groups might have missed and further explain something the group may not have been clear on. Now at this point I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the disorders and their therapy. At least a much better understanding than I had after only reading about them in the book.

So I think that this was definitely a really good idea for an activity. It only take about one and a half classes and it doesn't involve any work outside of school. I definitely think this is one activity that should be repeated next year.
