niversity feels like a lifetime ago. I recall with perfect clarity the hype surrounding school supplies, and the sea of students who congregate by the bus stop in the morning.
While I didn’t move away from school given the proximity of my university to my childhood home, a number of my friends did. I remember the thought and care they put into looking for their homeaway-from-home – and I also recall the panic that set in when they realized they had miscalculated their expenses for the year because of the hidden costs they hadn’tOften,anticipated.thingslike

OT THERAPY AIDE:
ccupational therapists are important allies for individuals with a chronic illness or those who are trying to live independently after an accident. According to The Balance: Careers, occupational therapy involves assisting people of various ages build or restore their ability to live daily life by modifying or changing daily activities that a person wants to do. There are three main types of practitioners who work in the field of occupational therapy. These include occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants and occupational therapy aides. Salaries, duties and educational and licensing requirements differ between the three roles.
This person has the fewest educational requirements and will earn the lowest salary on an OT team. However, OT therapy aides are essential. The aide sets up treatment rooms and prepares equipment. He or she also may perform clerical duties.

Exploring a career occupationalintherapy

Individuals who want to become occupational therapists must complete a four-year bachelor’s degree and a twoto three-year master’s degree. Individuals will then have to go through the local licensing process. Many people begin working in OT in positions of less responsibility to gain relevant experience once they have completed the associate’s level program, and then gain experience and build their résumés from there.
OT ASSISTANT: This person falls between an occupational therapist and an OT aide on the spectrum of responsibility. This can be a good option for someone who is uncertain about an OT career, but wants to try it on for size. Assistants work under an OT’s supervision and make sure patients are correctly performing exercises spelled out in treatment plans. career beat

Help others live a fuller life
OCCUPATION THERAPIST: OTs oversee the operations and have the most responsibility by setting goals and developing treatment plans. An OT will do a home or work assessment to analyze a patient’s environments and make accommodations. He or she also will suggest equipment to use in a workplace to help that patient do his or her job comfortably. To become an OT, one will need to go through a master’s program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education. Occupational therapists have many ways to specialize their careers. ExploreHealthCareers.org says OTs may work with premature babies, assist children with cerebral palsy or Down syndrome, work in schools with students who have learning disabilities, or may work with older people in nursing homes or private residences. There are new specialties, too, such as training workers to use the correct ergonomics or helping people with low vision issues maintain their independence.

ack-to-school shopping sales have long been indicators that the summer vacation season is coming to a close. Students and their parents may visit area stores or browse online looking for items to make the coming school year a success. Those lists have looked similar for decades, but shopping for school supplies in the pandemic era may prove to be a unique experience. Though hundreds of millions of adults and adolescents have now been vaccinated against COVID-19, there figures to be some lingering effects of the pandemic during the upcoming school year. That could affect which school supplies families buy in the weeks to come. Here’s a look at some of the latest trends.
Back-to-school shopping may continue to look a bit different than in previous years, spawning trends that may ultimately become the new normal.
–Shopping insights
· Reassessment of what’s essential: The pandemic may have changed which items consumers consider essential. For example, clothing became less significant as a greater number of students were enrolled in virtual learning. Back-to-school shoppers may purchase less clothing and focus more on tech items, among others.
· Customers are trying new brands and products: Shoppers are trying new products out of curiosity as well as necessity. Back-to-school shopping may include novel brands and other items that may not have been readily purchased in years past.
· Support for local retailers: Community spirit grew in the early days of the pandemic and continues now. Many people prefer to shop in locally owned stores. Eighty percent of customers surveyed feel more or as connected to their communities, according to the business industry consultant company Accenture.

Howschool shopping B has changed in the pandemic era
· A shift from physical stores: According to data from IBM’s Retail Index, the pandemic has accelerated a shift away from physical stores to digital shopping by about five years. It’s likely that school shoppers will turn to the internet for their supplies, which means local brick and mortar shops should increase their web presence and digital shopping capabilities to reach online shoppers. This includes omnichannel fulfillment, such as buy online and pickup in store (BOPIS) options.
Metro Creative Connection Savings
· Traditional supplies become less necessary: In 2020, Deloitte forecasted that a shift in preferences and intentions would result in parents buying fewer traditional supplies, such as notebooks and office supplies, as they chose to invest in digital resources to supplement children’s education. That shift likely will continue into this school year.
