Working at the Children's Hospital
We got to work with the therapy departments at the Hospital Infantil de Infectologia y Rehabilitacion (The Children's Hospital for Infectious Disease and Rehabilitation) every morning while in Guatemala. I became good friends with Kati an OT student doing her clinicals at the hospital. We worked with children with malnutrition, developmental delay, asthma, cerebral palsy, and much more. It was a great experience.
In the afternoons, we had workshops. We taught on Sensory Integration, NDT (neuro-developmental treatment), Handling Techniques, and Tone Management. They taught us about many rare diagnoses that they have seen and treated.

Enjoyed the pictures. What a cool experience to be able to speak their language and work with the children!
What a great experience! Reminds me of Bolivia.
