I have created a photo presentation in the for of a slide show. The topic I have chosen is game play and I have chosen this because of my participation in a day hospital rehab setting of one of my placements last year. While on placement I notices that game play was a pivital part of rehabilitation for some stroke patients. The idea of hand eye coordination and building strength in the effected side was very prominent and I believe that this was a very effective tool in the recovery of these patients. Furthermore, while there was individual work done with these patients there was also alot of group work which built a strong sense of belonging in these patients. By getting the patients to engage with the games and with each other it helps to aid the recovery process which can be long and hard for server stroke patients. The slides illustrate the idea of doing, being, becoming and belonging.
So here it is!!

Short film description
What an extremely funny experience making this film was! Brought us together as a small group and help us all get to know each other just that little bit better!
Our short films topic was "Occupational deprivation". For the time being I shall call it "Occupational deprivation of a poor student" (to be revised when the girls get back to me haha).We have shown this in our film by good use of the lead actress (she who will not be named haha) being deprived of different aspects of student life. Occupational deprivation is defined as not all people are afforded equal opportunies to participate in occupations having individual, fimiliaral and cultural meaning" (Christiansen & Townsend, p.305, 2010)From this definition I as an individual understand that occupational deprivation is not being able to preform or be included in different activities because of events that are out of ones control.
As a group we brain stormed ideas about occupational deprivation and how that topic may be linked to the notion of being a student. We decided on the idea that as students we don't always have alot of money and because of this we may miss out on activities that others don't because of lack on money. Throughout the short film we show different ideas including our actress no begining able to get into the movies because she has not paid for her ticket and her looking longingly at a sausage roll that again she cannot afford. Also at they beginning of our film our actress is, how shall I put this, well covered and keen for fun. At the end because she has no money, she has studied hard and lost ALOT of weight. All in all, I think the girls and I did a great job of displaying what it means to be occupational deprived as a poor student!
