Shake and Shuffle
(2018-04) Johnston, Sarah
For as long as I can remember, my father has always loved music. He enjoys listening to music, dancing to the music, and attending events that involve music. His Parkinson’s disease has taken away a lot of what he loves to do and has created many struggles for him yet he still continues to dance and sing wholeheartedly. I created this event to gather other individuals with Parkinson’s and their caregivers or loved ones to allow them a chance to catch a glimpse of my father’s positivity and his love for music. Dancing has many benefits to help him maintain his independence for as long as possible by providing a fun workout to promote whole body wellness.

Plarn for a Cause
(2018-04) Statzer, Jessica
MAKING PLARN BED MATS FOR THE LOCAL HOMELESS I held classes at the Senior Center, teaching all the participants how to make “plarn”, AKA plastic yarn. We use the plarn to make bed mats for our local homeless individuals. This project gets plastic bags out of our environment, brings people together in a social circle, and gives homeless individuals a softer and dryer surface to lay. We got together in the craft room, where we shared stories and loop strips of plastic bags together to make plarn. The second half of the classes we crocheted the 3-by-6 feet bed mat that takes more than 700 used plastic bags. I and several women sat together to work on this project. This process has brought women from the area together, while getting to know each other, laughing, and learning a new skill to pass on. With the help of the women attending my classes at the Senior Center, I completed a plarn bed mat.
Healing Through a Story: How Occupational Therapy Creates Meaning Through the Grief Process
(2018-04-18) Cambron, Faith
As an occupational therapy Expo Project, this book was written in collaboration with Kathryn Schneider in memory of her adoptive daughter, Eiris Hosanna. The occupational therapy student used the writing process of this book as grief therapy for Kathryn and her other daughter Islah. The book, titled In His Sight: Loved Beyond Measure, is filled with treasured pictures of Eiris with her family, loving notes from both Kathryn and Islah, and finger paint illustrations to add color to the pages. The theme of the book echoed statements of "Thank you, Eiris," as Kathryn and Islah recalled the many things Eiris taught us while she was here on this earth. The book concludes with a personal note from the occupational therapy student about her connection with the family.
