I felt like this was a really interesting article....not the study per se, but just the idea that these children aren't talking things through internally. I may do this with some of my kids - while working on tasks, closing my eyes and having them explain what they are doing...or...I dunno. Must ponder.
Am working on my part of the upcoming social media presentation at AOTA conference.....
This blog chronicles my OT journey starting from 2006 in the beginning of OT school, through 9 months of fieldwork, to my first year as an OT working in rural Deep South in physical dysfunction, to my transition into an elementary school system district in California. I'm in my third year now and learning new things every day. My mind is constantly blown by the amazingness of OT!

Hi there, I also found this a very interesting read. I am a 2nd year Occupational Thearpy student and we have an assignment to link with other blogs and comment - I have found your blog of great interest. I look forward to reading more.
Fantastic that you will be presenting at the AOTA conference. You are certainly the most prolific OT blogger I have found, I love reading your blog. I don't work with children but there is still always something interesting. The whole social media issue is becoming much bigger in our profession, so you are right there at the front! Good luck.

Lauren - thanks :) Ebby - awww. Are you coming to conference? I wish I did better at blogging more regularly....need to try to reach out to those who don't work with children, more often. I feel like your name is familiar since it is unique, have you commented before???
Ebby - sorry - realized quickly after this that you have commented quite often, I apologize!!!! I love the name. :)
